Quarry Hole boat launch
Quarry Hole
This boat ramp is primarily designed for small boats such as canoes, kayaks, and other non-motorized watercraft. It is not suitable for larger boats with motors as the size and depth of the water body it services is limited.
The Quarry Hole boat ramp is approximately 10 feet wide, providing enough space for one vehicle and trailer at a time. The ramp has a gentle slope into the water, making it easy for smaller watercraft to launch and maneuver.
The ramp services the Willamette River, specifically the section between Corvallis and Albany, which is popular among recreational boaters and fishermen. The Quarry Hole area is known for its calm waters, making it ideal for non-motorized watercraft.
In conclusion, the Quarry Hole boat ramp in Oregon is a small and narrow ramp designed for non-motorized watercraft such as canoes and kayaks. It services the Willamette River between Corvallis and Albany, and the area is known for its calm waters, making it popular among recreational boaters and fishermen.

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