About This Access Site
Willow Landing is a BLM-managed boat ramp providing access to the Snake River near Purlington in Garfield County, Washington. This concrete ramp facility includes separate raft launch areas and serves as a primary access point for paddlers and boaters exploring this major river system. Note that the raft launch features swift water conditions and some erosion to the lower steps, so exercise caution when launching.

The Snake River at this location is a substantial waterway—a major river system (Stream Order 9) with an average flow of nearly 50,000 cubic feet per second and significant current at approximately 10.8 feet per second. Paddlers should be prepared for strong, fast-moving water typical of this section. The river's steep average gradient of 15.8 feet per mile means dynamic conditions, making this site most suitable for experienced kayakers and canoeists comfortable with moving water. The site's proximity to Lake Bryan and other recreational areas in southeastern Washington's remote lower Snake River region offers additional recreation opportunities in the area.
