Parks Landing is a concrete boat ramp providing motorized and non-motorized access to the Kilchis River in Tillamook. Located off Idaville Loop Road, approximately half a mile east of Highway 101, this facility serves as a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring the river and adjacent Neilson Slough.
**Conditions & Planning:** Before launching, check current water flow conditions and scout ahead, as water levels on the Kilchis River can vary significantly. The ramp is open for public use, making it a reliable access point for local paddling. The site's proximity to Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge and Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge offers opportunities to explore scenic coastal ecosystems after paddling, though these refuges have specific regulations for wildlife protection.
This is a straightforward, practical access site ideal for day trips and local exploration. Paddlers should verify current conditions on the Kilchis River before heading out, especially during low-water periods.
