Returning visitors to the Silver Creek Boat Landing along the McKenzie River will see number of changes due to the effects of the wildfires of 2020. The concrete boat ramp is open for use but the Watchable Wildlife site, interpretive panels and footbridge crossing Silver Creek are no longer present. Areas outside of the paved parking lot have not been repaired. The site has been brought into minimal safe condition to support use as a boat launch, its primary purpose.
Getting there
Silver Creek Landing is located on the McKenzie River east of Springfield between Hendricks Bridge and Finn Rock on Highway 126. The Silver Creek Boat Landing is located on the right side of Highway 126, eight tenths of a mile east of mile marker 33.
