New Haven Riverfront Park

Public Boat Ramp: Concrete, well maintained, extra wide,
for multiple boat launches at a time.

Current: Calm. Protected with dike breaking current.

Docking: One courtesy dock. No long term or overnight docking.

Parking: Free Vehicle with trailer parking available along park drive, with additional parking on gravel lot to East.

Fueling: Contact Olympic Marine Harbor Service at 573-237-4568 for availability of fuel.

Restroom: Yes

General Comments:This is a nice ramp to put in at. It is protected by the dike so you do not have to fight the current as much. However, during low water the ramp is still usable but the pool below the protecting wing dike has a number of very large boulders under the surface that can easily tear a prop up or worse. The best course is to raise the lower unit as high as possible when approaching the ramp, but a careful boater will find that the area straight out from the ramp is clear of boulders. Also, this is a steep ramp that can become very muddy and slick with use. A larger boat and 2WD vehicle may have a hard time with traction.

If you are looking for sandbars, there is one right across the river from the boat launch. If you feel like going further, east of New Haven is Dundee Sandbar, near mile marker 76.5. It is very user friendly, with sandy bottom and slower slope toward deeper water. Many people shallow wade here, without trouble, but we remind you to think of your safety and wear a flotation device.

Entertainment and Activities: If you are looking for entertainment or things to do in New Haven, there are some activities in downtown New Haven as well as up the hill on Hwy. 100, including a bar, restarants and a winery. If you're looking to just take a stroll, New Haven built a beautiful little walkway along the levee with park benches and attractive lighting.
