Orondo Park

Orondo Park is a public boat ramp facility located on the Columbia River near the town of Orondo in Douglas County. This access point provides launch capability for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized vessels on Lake Entiat, the reservoir section of the Columbia River in this area. The park includes a dedicated boat ramp along with basic amenities, making it a straightforward entry point for paddlers looking to explore the calmer, lake-like conditions of this stretch of the Columbia.

For paddlers specifically, note that Orondo Park features a motorized boat ramp on the south end of the property. Kayakers and canoeists should follow the road past the main ramp to the north end of the park, where a grassy cove provides a gentler, more suitable launch area. This location gives access to the broader Lake Entiat, which offers more protected paddling compared to upstream river sections. The surrounding area includes picnic facilities and basic park amenities.
