**Location & Access:**
Farnham Landing is a boat ramp providing access to the Siuslaw River near Mapleton in Lane County, Oregon. This is one of several open launch sites on the lower Siuslaw River and serves as a convenient put-in for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters exploring this section of the river system.
**For Paddlers:**
The landing provides access to both the Siuslaw River and Berkshire Creek, offering opportunities for flatwater paddling in the lower river reaches. This is a useful access point for those interested in floating the lower Siuslaw before fish move further upstream. Nearby amenities include two campgrounds within 10 miles—North Fork Siuslaw Campground and Archie Knowles Campground—making it suitable for extended trips. The area also provides access to outdoor recreation, including the Old Growth Ridge National Recreation Trail nearby for those combining water-based and land-based activities.
**Planning Your Visit:**
Be sure to check current conditions before heading out, as water levels and accessibility can vary seasonally. This landing is situated within Siuslaw National Forest, and recreation passes may be required depending on current regulations. Consider consulting with local paddling communities for current information about float distances, seasonal conditions, and any specific hazards on this section of river.
