Warehouse Beach

Warehouse Beach is an unimproved boat ramp providing public access to Lake Wallula on the Columbia River near Cold Springs Junction in Umatilla County, Oregon. This launch point offers a straightforward entry to the reservoir, making it convenient for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters exploring this stretch of the Columbia River system. The site is one of 17 boat ramps around Lake Wallula, with nearby improved facilities available at other locations if additional amenities are needed.

Lake Wallula is a large, slow-moving reservoir ideal for recreational paddling and boating. The lake's calm waters make it suitable for paddlers of various skill levels. The area is near Cold Springs National Wildlife Refuge, a historic refuge established by President Theodore Roosevelt, offering opportunities to explore scenic natural areas. Visitors should note that Warehouse Beach is classified as unimproved, so facilities may be limited compared to developed ramps elsewhere on the lake.
