 ======== Willamette Park (Crystal Lake) Boat Ramp ========
-This is the only full boat ramp in Corvallis, on the Willamette River.   It carries the name Crystal Lake Boat Ramp, but it is not on a lake.  See the map for the general location.  This access point is good, but it does put you into the river at a point with some flow, or much flow at times.  It is possible for many people to paddle up stream here but some effort is needed.  During the summer, there is some quiet water on the Corvallis side upstream from the launch ramp.  This is at river mile 132.9 and operated by the City of Corvallis.

-Crystal Lake Drive comes off of 3rd Street (Hwy 99W) in Corvallis at a full traffic light.  Follow that street in to Fischer Lane that accesses the park area. This turn is easy to miss.  Look for a large plain concrete building marked "OEM," and turn just before that.  There is lots of paved parking as this also serves the sports fields to the south.
