Boating and paddling
Boating
A boat ramp and additional picnic tables are located on the opposite river bank. From the main park, take Table Rock Road across the bridge. This side of the park also has a dog off-leash area and pit toilets.
Have you considered adding a jet boat concession?
We studied the idea of a jet boat concession (read report, survey results, and most of the raw data) to pick up and drop off customers at the park, and shelved it in February 2023. Visitors will still see jet boats operating on the river (where jet boats are allowed). Businesses can’t conduct transactions in the park, but are allowed to use TouVelle under the rules that apply to other visitors. One business has a permit from Jackson County to use land under the Table Rock Rd bridge that passes through the park.
Read more from the park
Ongoing concerns about changes in use of the river between the old Gold Ray Dam site and Lost Creek Dam involve way more than the state park, so we collaborated with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Oregon State Marine Board, and the Oregon Department of State Lands to gather more information from the community. The agencies partnered with Oregon's Kitchen Table (OKT), a statewide community engagement service, so Jackson County residents and visitors could express their values, beliefs, and expectations of this area of the river. The results are now out.
