About This Access Site
Located at Hanson Ferry in Asotin County, Washington, the Botts access site provides boat ramp access to the Grande Ronde River in its lower reaches near the Snake River confluence. This location offers a convenient put-in or take-out point for paddlers and boaters looking to access this scenic waterway. The site's proximity to Hanson Ferry makes it a practical choice for those planning shorter floats or day trips on the lower Grande Ronde.

The Grande Ronde River in this area is characterized by its relatively lower gradient and broader channel compared to upstream sections, making it generally suitable for recreational paddlers and boaters of varying skill levels. As with other Grande Ronde access points, conditions can vary seasonally, so paddlers should check current water levels and flow conditions before launching. The lower river corridor offers scenic views, and this location provides direct access to the water for both launch and retrieval of watercraft.
