About This Access Site
The SR129 Gravel Pit access point near Anatone provides boat launch access to the Grande Ronde River in northeastern Washington. This is a relatively remote put-in option for paddlers and boaters looking to access the upper portions of the Grande Ronde. The site is located along State Route 129 and serves as a secondary access point for the river system in Asotin County.
Boaters should be aware that water levels significantly affect usability at this and other Grande Ronde access points. Similar ramps in the area (such as Troy) can become blocked by gravel bars at flows below 4,000 cfs, and low water conditions may create shallow areas near the banks. Plan your trip accordingly based on current river flow conditions. The Grande Ronde is a popular river for fishing and recreation, with multiple access points available both upstream and downstream. Check current water conditions and flows before launching to ensure safe passage and to confirm the ramp is accessible.
