About This Access Site
Little Goose Landing offers a single-lane boat ramp providing access to the Snake River near LaCrosse, Washington. This major river system averages nearly 50,000 cubic feet per second of flow with an average velocity of 10.81 feet/second, making it a substantial waterway suitable for experienced paddlers and motorboats. The day-use area includes ACS-accessible covered picnic tables, fire pits, and restrooms (flush in summer, vault in winter), with dispersed camping areas also available nearby.

Boaters and paddlers should be aware that commercial barge traffic regularly operates on the Snake River, creating large wakes. Barges cannot maneuver easily, so maintain distance and stay clear of their routes. Given the river's significant flow and commercial traffic, this access point is best suited for intermediate to advanced paddlers familiar with river conditions and boater safety practices. For more information on safe boating practices, consult official boater education resources before launching.
