Located approximately 10 miles northeast of Roseburg on the main stem of the Umpqua River, Cleveland Rapids provides seasonal boat access via a gravel bar (summer) and boat ramp (winter/spring). This access point serves as a convenient put-in or take-out for paddlers and anglers exploring this section of the Umpqua River. The site offers parking and day-use facilities, making it suitable for both casual fishing trips and paddling adventures.
Boaters should be aware that Cleveland Rapids is navigable by various watercraft, though river conditions vary seasonally. The section below Cleveland Rapids includes Hutton Rapids (low water concerns) and Crow Rapids, which may present challenges depending on water levels and your vessel type. For multi-day trips, paddlers can plan shuttles between nearby access points like the Fairgrounds or Templin Beach ramps. Summer conditions favor recreational use of the gravel bar, while spring and winter water levels support the main ramp.
The site is adjacent to the North Bank Habitat Management Area, which offers additional hiking, biking, and horseback riding opportunities for those combining water and land recreation in the region.
