Tiernan Boat Ramp is a free public launch located approximately 5 miles west of Mapleton on Oregon Route 126, providing direct access to the Siuslaw River. The site features a large parking area suitable for turning around with truck and boat trailers, making it convenient for launching and retrieving boats. However, note that the ramp has limited parking, no dock, and can be challenging to use at low tide, so plan your visit accordingly.
This is an ideal put-in for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters looking to explore the Siuslaw River. The area is situated in scenic coastal range territory near Siuslaw National Forest, offering opportunities for fishing, paddling, and enjoying quieter stretches of river. Several campgrounds are located within 10 miles, including Horse Creek Campground and North Fork Siuslaw Campground, making it convenient for multi-day paddling trips or weekend outings.
