**Location & Access**
Sunland Estates offers a public boat launch on the Columbia River near Quincy in Grant County, about 8 miles west of George, Washington. The ramp provides direct access to this major river corridor, with scenic views of the surrounding basalt cliffs characteristic of central Washington's landscape.
**Conditions & Considerations**
Be aware that this ramp has experienced maintenance issues in the past, including structural deterioration. If launching here, exercise caution and inspect conditions before use. The ramp is best suited for motorboats, ski boats, and jet skis given its design. Paddlers should be experienced with the Columbia River's conditions, as it is a large, powerful waterway that demands respect for currents and changing conditions.
**Nearby Recreation**
The area offers excellent opportunities beyond the main river, including access to the Quincy Wildlife Recreation Area's chain of impoundments—Evergreen Reservoir and Burke, Quincy, Babcock Ridge, and Stand Coffin Lakes—which provide calmer water alternatives and fishing for yellow perch and crappie. The scenic Gorge setting makes this a popular hub for both water sports and broader outdoor recreation in the region.
