About This Access Site
Clearwater Park is a well-developed 65-acre facility in Springfield offering excellent access to the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. The site features **two boat ramps** with a gentle slope designed for easy launching and retrieval, plus ample paved parking for vehicles and trailers. This makes it an ideal put-in or take-out point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters exploring this section of the river.
Located at the southeast end of town (at Fischer Lane, off Crystal Lake Drive), Clearwater Park provides convenient access for both day trips and longer paddling adventures. The park supports a variety of water activities including paddling, boating, fishing, and swimming. For those planning overnight trips, several reservable campgrounds are nearby, including South Twin Lake, Graham Corral Horse, and Whispering Pines Horse Camp within 10 miles.
The Middle Fork Willamette offers diverse recreational opportunities in a scenic setting. Nearby attractions like West Eugene Wetlands (great for wildlife viewing) and Fall Creek Lake (1,852 acres with 22 miles of forested shoreline) make this region ideal for extending your paddling adventure beyond the immediate access point.
