Houghton Landing County Park boat launch
Houghton Landing County Park
According to the latest information available, Houghton Landing County Park boat ramp is a concrete ramp that allows access to the Willamette River. It is approximately 16 feet wide and is suitable for launching small to medium-sized watercraft, including boats, canoes, kayaks, and jet skis.
The Willamette River is a major tributary of the Columbia River, flowing northward through Oregon. It is a popular destination for recreational boaters, fishermen, and water sports enthusiasts.
The park provides several amenities for boaters, including parking, restrooms, and picnic areas. However, there are no overnight camping facilities available at the park.
It is important to note that the regulations and guidelines for boating on the Willamette River can change periodically, and boaters should always check the latest information before launching their watercraft. Additionally, boaters should be familiar with the local rules and regulations and practice safe boating habits while on the water.

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

About Houghton Landing County 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.
