trap50...I'm guessing you would want to take the Corbett exit off I-5, make a right at the stop, light/sign, I don't know what they have there. That should put you heading south again, go to the bottom of the hill and make a left, go about three blocks and you should hit McAdam, make a right on McAdam and the ramp will be to the left a few blocks further on your left, there's a sign.

Thanks for the info. Never been on this part of the river so it's all a learning experience for us. Think we will drive up in the car today just to find it before the boat is chasing us.

There's another ramp at Staff Jennings right underneath the bridge.
Officially, it's not a ramp. It looks to me like the remains of an old ferry crossing. It's a little rough, and there's no dock. Mostly small boats and drifters launch there.

Thanks 1pump
I have a 19'Harborcraft so I don't think I want to do that. The bridge must be up river from the Willamette ramp then.

Yes, Sellwood is just upriver from Willamette Park. Very close.
