Hee Hee Illahee
Hee Hee Illahee boat ramp services the Willamette River, which is a major waterway in Oregon and stretches over 187 miles from the Cascade Mountains to the Columbia River.

Larger boats may have difficulty launching and retrieving at this ramp due to its relatively narrow width. It is important to note that the use of motorized boats is permitted on the Willamette River, but there are restrictions in place on speed limits and noise levels to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all users.
In conclusion, Hee Hee Illahee boat ramp is a small concrete ramp situated in Oregon that is designed to accommodate small boats, canoes, and kayaks. It services the Willamette River and offers recreational opportunities for boaters and water enthusiasts.

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