Russian Slough Boat Ramp

Russian Slough is a 90-acre natural area where the Red Cedar River empties into Lake Tainter, offering access for hunting and fishing with no developed amenities or boat landing. The DNR closes the park seasonally in spring to protect walleye spawning grounds.

Access is via a one-lane dirt road off 860th Ave, making it a more secluded take-out option for paddlers finishing Red Cedar River trips.
