About This Access Site
Harvest Lane (also known as Rodakowski Landing) is a 22-acre natural area providing public boat access to the McKenzie River in Springfield. The site features a small parking lot and boat ramp maintained by Lane County Parks. This is a popular put-in location for kayakers and canoeists looking to paddle the McKenzie River corridor. The access point is conveniently located near Springfield and easy to reach via the Beltline, taking Gateway east to Harlow, then left on Harvest Lane.
