Osprey

The Osprey boat ramp is a BLM-managed access point on the Umpqua River in Douglas County, offering convenient launching and take-out for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. This is a solid option for accessing the river, though users should be aware that the concrete ramp has large voids between planks—exercise caution when launching and retrieving your boat, especially with heavier craft or trailers.

**Important Health Advisory:** Oregon Health Authority has issued a permanent cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) advisory for the Umpqua and South Umpqua Rivers. Check current conditions before paddling and avoid contact with the water if algal blooms are visible. Two reservable campgrounds are nearby—Eagleview Group Campground and Tyee Campground on the Umpqua River—making this a convenient base for multi-day river trips or weekend outings. Plan accordingly for water conditions and bring appropriate safety gear.
