Paddleboardfine at normal flowsA quarter mile off Highway 126, on a stretch of river lined with the homes of Greenwood Drive, this paved ramp is one of the tidier landings on the lower McKenzie. Two entrances let boaters drive straight through without backing a trailer, which makes it a favorite for guides running quick shuttles and for families launching canoes and kayaks on the easy water below Leaburg Dam. Lane County keeps a vault toilet and a shaded lot here, and the stretch is listed among ODFW’s recommended spots for trout, salmon, and steelhead.
It’s a working neighborhood ramp more than a destination — functional, well-kept, and busy on a summer weekend.
More detail
Getting there & parking +
From Highway 126 near milepost 22.4, follow signs into the Greenwood Drive area outside Leaburg; the landing is about a quarter mile off the highway.
Facilities & accessibility +
- Paved boat launch (two entrances)
- Vault toilet
- Shaded parking
Small but well-maintained — expect it to feel more like a neighborhood access point than a full park.
River conditions & hazards +
This section is gentle Class I-II water, easy by upper-river standards, but the current is still cold and can move faster than it looks after a rain event. Because the ramp sits close to residential property, boaters should be mindful of noise and parking courtesy for the neighbors along Greenwood Drive.
Nearby landings & float planner +
Greenwood sits in the calm stretch that runs most of the way from the dam to Eugene, good water for anyone not chasing whitewater.
Fishing at this landing +
ODFW lists this stretch for trout, salmon, and steelhead, and the paved ramp makes it an easy in-and-out spot for anglers fishing from a boat.
