Whiteley Landing offers access to a scenic, tranquil backchannel of the Willamette River that is typically passable by canoe during summer flows, though it can be shallow.

The small, rustic facility includes a pit toilet, picnic table, and modest parking area; a Lane County Parks day-use permit (available in advance or at local retailers) is required.

Wildlife viewing opportunities are common in this peaceful, less-developed area just minutes from the main stem river.
