Brown's Landing is a small public boat ramp located at River Mile 18.2 on the Multnomah Channel near Scappoose. This access point sits directly adjacent to the Sauvie Island Wildlife Refuge and offers a convenient launch for kayakers and canoeists exploring this scenic waterway. The ramp is positioned across from the Burlington Bottoms wetland, making it an excellent starting point for wildlife viewing and paddling through this ecologically rich area.
The site occupies the location of a historic ferry line, adding to the area's character. Paddlers should note that this is a modest facility suitable for smaller watercraft and hand launches. The surrounding landscape offers excellent opportunities to explore protected wildlife habitat, and the proximity to both the Sauvie Island Wildlife Refuge and Fort Vancouver National Historic Site makes this a gateway to significant outdoor recreation and cultural exploration in the region.
