About This Access Site
Wagon Wheel Park in Mulino offers **year-round boat access** to the Molalla River, making it a reliable launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The site features a concrete boat ramp approximately 12 feet wide, suitable for watercraft up to 18 feet in length. Amenities include year-round bathrooms, paid parking options, and drinking water availability.

The Molalla River is a medium-sized Pacific Northwest river that offers varied paddling experiences depending on water levels and season. Spring runoff typically brings higher flows and faster currents, while summer and fall water levels are generally lower and more suitable for casual paddling. The area also provides access to nearby camping options at Three Bears and Cedar Grove, which can be reserved through Recreation.gov for multi-day trips.

**Note:** Some local boaters recommend checking current conditions before launching, as water levels can vary significantly by season. The site is centrally located in Clackamas County, making it accessible for day trips or as a starting point for longer stretches of the Molalla River.
