Sturdivant Park boat launch
Sturdivant Park
After conducting research, the boat ramp named Sturdivant Park is located in Coos Bay, Oregon. It is a public boat launch that is free to use and open year-round. The ramp is made of concrete and is 16 feet wide, providing ample space for boats to launch and retrieve from the water.
Sturdivant Park boat ramp services the Coos Bay estuary, which is a large body of water that connects to the Pacific Ocean. This waterway is popular for recreational boating and fishing, as it offers a variety of species to catch, such as salmon, steelhead, and trout. The estuary is also home to a variety of wildlife, including sea lions, seals, and a variety of birds.
According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the type of craft allowed on Coos Bay depends on the size and horsepower of the boat. Boats up to 10 feet in length and with motors up to 10 horsepower are allowed on the water. Boats between 10 and 16 feet in length can have motors up to 25 horsepower, and boats over 16 feet in length can have motors up to 50 horsepower.
In summary, the Sturdivant Park boat ramp in Oregon is a public launch that services the Coos Bay estuary. The ramp is 16 feet wide and made of concrete. It is open year-round and allows boats of various sizes and horsepower to launch into 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
Save Sturdivant Park as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Sturdivant 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.
