Bob Creek boat launch
Bob Creek
Bob Creek boat ramp is a concrete boat ramp that provides easy access for boats to launch and retrieve on the Brownlee Reservoir. It is also a popular site for fishing and water sports.
The ramp is approximately 20 feet wide, which is wide enough to accommodate most types of boats and watercraft. Additionally, there is ample parking available near the ramp, which makes it easy for boaters to park their trailers and vehicles.
As for the types of watercraft allowed on the reservoir, it varies depending on the season and regulations in place. Generally, powerboats, jet skis, kayaks, and canoes are allowed on the reservoir. However, some areas may be restricted for certain types of watercraft or activities. It is always best to check with the local authorities before planning a trip to the Brownlee Reservoir.

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