Buena Vista County Park Boat Launch, located on the Willamette River about 7 miles south of Independence, features a newly renovated boat ramp with floating dock, improved lower parking lot (with both ADA-accessible and standard parking), and accessible routes throughout the park—making it ideal for kayakers and non-motorized boaters.

The facility includes picnic tables, fire pits, and a restroom, with operations from sunrise to half an hour after sunset year-round.

The park was recently upgraded in late 2023 with modern infrastructure designed to prevent flooding and accommodate all watercraft users.
