About This Access Site
Riverside Park offers a paved boat ramp providing convenient access to the Rogue River in Grants Pass, near the confluence with Bear Creek. The facility accommodates kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats, making it a popular launching point for both day trips and longer river adventures. Modern restrooms are available on-site, and the park setting provides ample parking for boaters.

This access point is ideally positioned for paddlers exploring the lower Rogue River and those seeking to venture into the Wild & Scenic corridor upstream. The Rogue River at this location offers diverse paddling opportunities, from calm flatwater sections suitable for recreational paddlers to more dynamic stretches for experienced boaters. Riverside Park serves as a gateway to one of Oregon's premier river corridors, with opportunities to explore scenic canyon sections and access the Wild Rogue Wilderness area further upstream.
