About This Access Site
Milwaukie Riverfront Park offers a convenient public boat launch on the Willamette River in downtown Milwaukie, located at the end of Fischer Lane off Crystal Lake Drive. The park sits on 8.5 acres nestled between the Willamette River and several tributary creeks (Kellogg Creek and Johnson Creek), providing water access for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The facility includes a concrete boat ramp, restrooms, lawn areas, and walking paths—making it a good base for exploring this section of the river.
Paddlers should note that the park has experienced periodic closures due to maintenance and construction projects, so it's worth checking current access status before visiting. The Willamette River at this location is wide and relatively calm, making it suitable for paddlers of various skill levels. If you encounter access issues at Milwaukie Riverfront Park, Sportcraft Landing and Meldrum Bar Park (in nearby Gladstone) offer alternative launch points in the area.
