About This Access Site
Schroeder Park offers convenient river access to the Rogue River on the outskirts of Grants Pass, with a dedicated boat ramp, large parking area, and vault toilets. The 24-acre park includes an ADA fishing platform and is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters launching day trips on this scenic waterway. A $5 day-use fee applies, and the park is open from sunrise to sunset.
Beyond the boat ramp, Schroeder Park provides additional amenities including picnic areas, a playground, dog park, and hiking trails through natural river wetland—making it a good option for families or those wanting to combine paddling with other recreation. The park's location near Grants Pass also puts you close to the Wild & Scenic Rogue River corridor upstream, popular for both recreational paddling and fishing. If you need alternative nearby access points, Lathrop Boat Ramp is just downstream, and Robertson Bridge provides additional parking and facilities a short distance away.
