About This Access Site
The Airport boat ramp provides access to the Yaquina River near Toledo in Lincoln County. **Note: This ramp features a significant drop-off at the bottom**, so use caution when launching and be prepared for the steep entry into the water. The ramp is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats looking to explore the lower Yaquina River and estuary.

This location works well for paddlers planning float trips downriver—a popular route runs approximately 4 miles downstream to the Toledo ramp near the airport in about 2 hours. The site appears to have parking available and serves as a convenient launch point for accessing the scenic Yaquina Bay area. Before heading out, check current conditions with Coast Guard Station Yaquina Bay, particularly if you plan to venture into the bay where bar conditions can affect safety. For those needing additional facilities or alternative launch options, South Beach Marina (541-867-3321) also offers a ramp and moorage services nearby.
