Loon Lake boat launch
Loon Lake
The body of water serviced by the Loon Lake boat ramp is approximately 260 acres in size and is located at an elevation of 1,060 feet. This lake is popular for fishing, boating, and camping. It is stocked with rainbow trout, and other fish species such as largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish can also be found in the lake.
The Loon Lake boat ramp is suitable for small to medium-sized watercraft such as fishing boats, pontoons, and kayaks. It is important to note that no personal watercraft, such as jet skis or wave runners, are permitted on the lake.
In summary, the Loon Lake boat ramp in Oregon is a 20-foot wide concrete boat ramp that services a 260-acre freshwater lake. It is suitable for small to medium-sized watercraft and prohibits the use of personal watercraft.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app
Save Loon Lake as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Loon Lake
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
