Three Rivers is a public boat ramp located near Hebo in Tillamook County, providing access to the lower Nestucca River. The ramp sits at the confluence of Three Rivers and the Nestucca River, in an area within the Siuslaw National Forest. The Nestucca ranges from 50-100 feet wide in its lower reaches, making it suitable for drift boats, canoes, and kayaks. This is one of four primary public launch points on the lower river, alongside Cloverdale, Farmer Creek, and First Bridge.
The Three Rivers ramp is particularly popular with anglers and is noted as one of the best options for accessing the lower river, though bank access throughout this section is limited due to extensive private property ownership. During peak steelhead seasons when water levels are optimal (around 6.5 feet), the river can experience heavy boat traffic, especially in the upper and middle sections. Consider launching here to access less-crowded lower river sections. Nearby amenities include several campgrounds within 10 miles, including Castle Rock Group Campground and East Dunes Campground at Sand Lake Recreation Area, both reservable through typical channels.
