Harrisburg Landing

Harrisburg Landing is a public boat ramp facility located on the Willamette River at river mile 160, situated in the southeast part of town at the end of Fischer Lane off Crystal Lake Drive. The landing features a concrete ramp approximately 16 feet wide designed for small to medium-sized boats, along with amenities including flushing toilets, water, and picnic tables. A gazebo at the adjacent riverfront park provides additional shade and day-use facilities. The area is conveniently located with small grocery stores just three blocks away, making it a practical stop for paddlers and boaters.

Paddlers should be aware that a recently formed gravel bar in the area may limit access for larger boats, so it's recommended to call ahead for current local conditions before launching. The ramp provides good access to the Willamette River's main channel, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters exploring this major Oregon waterway. The site is approximately 4 river miles south of other popular access points, offering a good intermediate stop for multi-day paddling trips or day outings on the river.
