Dillon Falls Boat Ramp

Dillon Falls Day Use Area offers a boat ramp providing access to the Deschutes River for non-motorized boating, along with trailhead access to the Deschutes River Trail and a 0. 3-mile accessible pedestrian trail.

The site includes restrooms, horse trailer parking, and picnic areas, though a $5 recreation pass per vehicle per day is required.

Note: Dillon Falls itself is a dangerous Class IV+ rapid with an 8+ foot drop; the ramp is primarily used for launching kayaks and rafts above the falls or accessing the river downstream.
