PaddleboardSame reasoning as canoeMcMullen’s Landing is the second of two lightly-documented access points tucked between Finn Rock and Silver Creek Landing — this one closer to the Silver Creek end, on the same stretch of Class II-III water that makes up the upper half of the popular Finn Rock-to-Helfrich run. Like its neighbor Shepard’s Landing, it appears by name on older recreation lists with a historical ODFW association verify, but current, on-the-ground detail is thin.
Until it’s field-verified, treat this listing as a starting point rather than a complete picture.
More detail
Getting there & parking +
McMullen’s Landing sits along Highway 126 between Finn Rock Landing and Silver Creek Landing, closer to the Silver Creek end of that stretch exact location. No confirmed marked turnoff is documented at this time.
Facilities & accessibility +
- No developed facilities confirmed verify
- Presumed informal pull-off / bank access only verify
As with Shepard’s Landing, please confirm details on the ground before publishing specifics.
River conditions & hazards +
McMullen’s Landing sits in the same Class II-III reach as the rest of the Finn Rock-to-Silver Creek stretch — moving current, cold water, and rapids both upstream and downstream. With little documentation of the landing itself, it’s best treated as a scouting or emergency access point rather than a planned put-in or take-out until verified in person.
Nearby landings & float planner +
Silver Creek Landing downstream is the better-better-built neighbor — most boaters plan around that one instead.
Fishing at this landing +
Older references tie this spot to ODFW-managed bank access for trout and steelhead, but no current details were found.
