Avery Park boat launch
Avery Park
The Avery Park Boat Ramp is a concrete boat ramp that is 24 feet wide and 120 feet long. It is a single-lane ramp with a gentle slope, which makes it easy for boat owners to launch their boats into the water. The ramp is designed to accommodate different types of watercraft, including powerboats, sailboats, kayaks, and canoes. However, there is a speed limit on the river, and boat operators are required to follow all safety regulations and guidelines.
The Columbia River is a popular destination for boating, fishing, and other water-based activities. The river is approximately 1,243 miles long, and it flows from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. The river is home to a variety of fish species, including salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, and smallmouth bass. The river is also a major transportation route for cargo ships, barges, and other vessels.
In conclusion, Avery Park Boat Ramp is a popular and well-maintained boat launch that provides easy access to the Columbia River in Oregon. It is 24 feet wide, 120 feet long, and can accommodate different types of watercraft. Boaters can enjoy fishing, boating, and other water activities on the Columbia River.

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 Avery Park as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Avery Park
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.
