Hendrick's Bridge Park

Hendrick's Bridge Park offers a concrete boat ramp providing convenient access to the McKenzie River for both motorized and non-motorized watercraft. Located in Cedar Flat near Springfield, this site serves as a popular starting point for fishing trips and float excursions downriver toward Armitage Park. The paved ramp accommodates boats of various sizes and is suitable for kayakers and canoeists looking to launch into this scenic stretch of river.

Beyond the ramp, the park offers several amenities making it ideal for day trips and family outings. Visitors will find picnic tables, a reservable picnic shelter, restrooms, and running water. The site features a shallow swimming area marked by stones (best during cooler months when water levels are higher), along with recreational facilities including volleyball and horseshoe pits. The park operates year-round from dawn to dusk and is adjacent to nearby campground options at Cascara Campground and Sky Camp within 10 miles.

The McKenzie River in this area provides access to quality fishing and scenic paddling opportunities, with nearby recreation destinations including Fall Creek Lake and Dexter Lake adding to the region's outdoor appeal. This makes Hendrick's Bridge an excellent hub for multi-day paddling or fishing adventures in the Cascade Range foothills.
