About This Access Site
Takena Landing is a well-maintained concrete boat ramp located on the southeast side of Albany, providing convenient access to the Willamette River via Fischer Lane off Crystal Lake Drive. The ramp is suitable for launching a variety of watercraft, including kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats, making it a popular starting point for paddlers and boaters exploring this section of the river.
The Willamette River at Albany offers diverse fishing opportunities for salmon, steelhead, and sturgeon, and the landing's location provides easy access to explore both upstream and downstream sections of the river. Nearby, paddlers can also visit the Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge near the confluence of the Santiam and Willamette Rivers, which offers wildlife viewing opportunities and is accessible via Interstate 5. This makes Takena Landing a practical base for both day trips and longer paddling adventures in the region.
