Cow Meadow Boat Ramp

Cow Meadow Boat Ramp provides access to Crane Prairie Reservoir with a primitive launch suitable for small boats only.

Located at the confluence of Snow Creek and the Deschutes River, the site offers a campground with basic amenities and enforces a 10 MPH speed limit on the reservoir.

The shallow-slope ramp makes it an ideal location for paddlers and small motorized boats exploring calmer waters.
