Fishermen's Bend Boat Ramp provides critical river access on the North Santiam River, serving as a midpoint for splitting the roughly 15-mile whitewater section into upper and lower runs with Class II-III rapids.

The ramp is currently open for day-use only (small fee required) with limited amenities including picnic tables and porta potties; the campground remains closed following 2020 wildfire damage.

This is an essential access point for rafters and anglers, though parking and facilities are minimal compared to the park's pre-fire capacity.
