    OSMB Boating Access Map Helping you get to the water

    The Marine Board is committed to helping provide boaters with safe, sufficient, and quality boating facilities. Most boaters launch at a public boat ramp and will likely need to use boarding floats, a transient tie-up, a parking space, a restroom, a pumpout, or other amenities every time they go boating. While the Marine Board does not own or operate any of these facilities, we provide funding to the public agencies that do.

Look What's Happening... Boating Facilities Program
Spring/Summer 2013
Greeting Boaters,

As we look towards summer you can find great sites for boating on the Boating Access Map, mentioned above. 

NORTH RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY PARK in INDEPENDENCE, on the Willamette River will be open for boaters late June. Because of inclement ​weather the finishing of the new facility has been delayed until the spring of 2013 The new site will have a concrete one-lane ramp, plenty of parking and vault restroom. RIVERVIEW PARK is still open and will remain open until the new facility is complete.  For more information call 503-838-1212.

The State Marine Board Boating Facility Grant Program was established in 1971 by the Oregon Legislature. Legislative direction for this grant program is contained in Oregon Revised Statute 830.150. The Board has also adopted administrative rules to further implement the Statute. These rules can be found in Chapter 250, Division 14 of Oregon Administrative Rules.

The Board does not own or operate any boating sites or facilities and instead, relies on willing partners to apply for grants to make needed improvements. Boating Facility Grants are available to help the providers of public boating access sites around the state to acquire, improve, and maintain facilities that serve recreational boaters. Typical boating improvements include launch ramps, boarding floats, parking lots, restrooms, transient moorage, and other items needed by boaters.
