Waverly Park boat launch
Waverly Park
The boat ramp is primarily designed for small boats and personal watercraft such as kayaks, canoes, and small fishing boats. However, larger boats can also be launched from the ramp, provided they are not heavier than the allowable weight limit.
According to the latest information, the boat ramp is well-maintained and provides ample parking space for vehicles and trailers. Additionally, there are restrooms, picnic tables, and a playground area located nearby.
In conclusion, Waverly Park boat ramp is a well-maintained concrete ramp located in Oregon that offers easy access to the Willamette River. It accommodates various sizes of trailers and permits small boats, personal watercraft, and larger boats that meet the weight limit. Moreover, it provides ample parking space, restrooms, and other amenities to make the boating experience enjoyable.

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