About This Access Site
Greggs Road provides public boat ramp access to the Pend Oreille River near Newport in northeastern Washington. This is a major river system—the 8th order Pend Oreille flows north for 141 miles with an average flow of over 26,000 cubic feet per second, making it suitable for motorized and non-motorized craft. The moderate gradient (2.1 ft/mile average) and significant current (averaging 9.84 ft/s) mean paddlers and boaters should be prepared for moving water conditions, particularly in spring runoff season.
The site serves as one of several access points along the Pend Oreille River Water Trail, which offers paddlers and small boaters designated routes with multiple access areas for day trips or longer journeys. This location is well-positioned for accessing the river's middle section. Those planning to use this ramp should contact local management for current conditions, parking availability, and any seasonal access restrictions, as water levels and weather can significantly impact launching conditions on this substantial river.
