Heritage Landing is a popular day-use boat ramp providing access to both the Deschutes and Columbia Rivers, featuring amenities including picnic areas, hiking trails, and a life jacket loaner station.

A boater pass is required year-round for watercraft use; multiple pass options are available online or at self-pay kiosks.

Note that the lower 2 miles of the Deschutes River is a pass-through zone where boaters cannot stop, preserving access for hike-in anglers.
