Roy Creek Park
The Roy Creek Park Boat Ramp is a concrete boat ramp that is available for public use. It is operated and maintained by Tillamook County Parks Department. According to the latest information available, the boat ramp measures about 36 feet in width and has two lanes to allow for boats to be launched and retrieved simultaneously.
The boat ramp provides access to the Tillamook Bay, which is a large estuary located in the northwestern part of Oregon. The Tillamook Bay is a popular fishing destination and is known for its abundant salmon and crab populations. The waterway is also used for recreational boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
The Roy Creek Park Boat Ramp is suitable for launching and retrieving a variety of watercraft, including powerboats, sailboats, kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. However, specific restrictions may apply depending on the size of the watercraft and local regulations. It is always advisable to check with the Tillamook County Parks Department for the latest updates before planning a boating trip to the Tillamook Bay.
In conclusion, the Roy Creek Park Boat Ramp is a well-maintained and accessible boat ramp that provides access to the Tillamook Bay in Oregon. It is suitable for a variety of watercraft, but it is important to check local regulations before launching.

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