Irene Rhinehart Riverfront Park boat ramp

Located at Umptanum Road in Ellensburg, this 117-acre riverfront park offers a boat launch ramp (currently in poor condition with a steep drop-off from pavement to gravel bar) and limited trailer parking, though ample regular parking is available.

The site serves as a mandatory takeout point for all non-motorized watercraft due to hazardous conditions downstream, and provides over a mile of shoreline for walk-and-wade fishing access upstream into the park.

Amenities include restrooms, picnic facilities, trails, and an off-leash dog park, with the park gate closing seasonally (November through late March) and at varying times depending on the season.
