Rooster Rock State Park

Rooster Rock State Park in Corbett offers a convenient boat launch facility on the Columbia River with no additional launch fees. The ramp provides access to a scenic lagoon inlet on the river's mainstem, making it an ideal starting point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The park sits at the western end of a scenic stretch of the Columbia River Gorge and features a large sandy beach, nature trails, and picnic facilities alongside the launch area.

The boat ramp is located in a protected inlet rather than directly on the main Columbia River channel, providing calmer launching and landing conditions. This sheltered lagoon setting is particularly advantageous for paddlers seeking to avoid heavy mainstem currents before venturing onto the wider river. The park's west end location near Rooster Rock itself offers good access to the historic landmark, with scenic views of the gorge. Parking and facilities are available at the ramp area, making this a popular and accessible recreation destination for river users of all skill levels.
