Yoyo Rock

Yoyo Rock provides direct access to the Columbia River near Malaga in Chelan County. Located off Tarpiscan Road (look for the "Yo yo rock boat ramp" sign), this ramp serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to launch on the lower Columbia River. The site includes a boat ramp with associated trailer parking facilities, making it convenient for day-use recreation.

Paddlers should be aware that the Columbia River is a large, powerful waterway with significant boat traffic from motorized vessels. Exercise caution around pilings and driftwood, and be respectful of other water users sharing the river. The nearby Quincy Wildlife Recreation Area offers alternative paddling opportunities on several impoundments including Evergreen Reservoir and other lakes, which may be preferable for paddlers seeking calmer water conditions.
