======= Hyak Park Ramp (Albany) =======

**WORK IN PROGRESS**  -  See Bob

This ramp is on the Willamette River outside of Albany going toward Corvallis.  It is a single lane ramp, operated by the Benton County.  No fee is charged.  The park is day use only but open all year, except when flooding occurs.  There is a dock along the ramp, but no separate tie-up dock.  Hyak is a day-use park with no overnight camping or parking.

Caution: Tall boats can't get down the ramp (need detail).  Consider using [[takena_landing_albany|Takena]] or [[bowman_park_albany|Bowman]] ramps.

**Water Character**

This is on a smooth flowing stretch of the Willamette River.  Downstream a short distance, on the Linn County side, is an interesting slough that goes a quarter mile or so into Bowers Rock State Park (undeveloped).  This slough is called "Little Willamette River" on Google Maps, but that is clearly an exaggeration!
