John Day Boat Ramp
John Day Boat Ramp
Located on Highway 30 about 5 miles east of Astoria, this well-maintained 54-acre park features a recently renovated public boat launch to the Columbia River with a dredged channel.
Amenities include flush restrooms, a large parking lot, and grassy areas, though the lot can fill quickly during fishing season. A $5 day-use fee per vehicle applies, though Clatsop County annual park passes allow free parking.
