About This Access Site
River Oaks County Park offers a convenient boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats onto Morrow Lake, a scenic impoundment of the Kalamazoo River in the Galesburg area. The ramp is located within a well-maintained 330-acre county park that provides ample parking (10+ spaces), restroom facilities, and a day-use park access fee. The park's shoreline is shaded by over 100-year-old oak trees, creating an attractive setting for paddlers.

This access point works well for paddlers looking to explore Morrow Lake and access portions of the Kalamazoo River. For those seeking additional paddling options, the Morrow Pond DNR Access Site is located just 0.8 miles away. Beyond water access, River Oaks Park offers hiking trails, picnic areas, and shelters, making it a good base for a full day of recreation.
