 ====== Peoria (Willamette River) ======
-Work in Progress  -    More Soon
+Located just North of the village of Peoria, Oregon, this launch ramp gives access to the Willamette River.  It is a paved ramp leading to a side slough. There is no dock to keep your feet dry.  On a nice weekend day the facility can be quite popular with boats, canoes, kayaks and inner-tubes.  Day use parking is available at the top.  The facility is run by Linn County Parks and there is no charge for use.
