Willow Creek Lake

Located near Heppner in Morrow County, this boat ramp provides access to Willow Creek Reservoir, a flood control and irrigation water storage facility. The ramp offers good access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the reservoir. A day-use fee of $5 per vehicle applies, and Interagency Passes are accepted. The nearby Willow Creek Campground (35 campsites, non-reservable) makes this a convenient option for those planning an overnight outing.

Water conditions and levels can vary seasonally depending on irrigation demands and flood control operations. Paddlers should check current water levels before launching, as reservoir levels may fluctuate. The area also supports fishing opportunities, including channel catfish, crappie, and occasional Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. This is a straightforward access point suitable for recreational paddling and boating on the reservoir.
