Marmot Road Access

Marmot Road Access provides a day-use recreation area and river access point on the Sandy River managed by the Bureau of Land Management, located at river mile 30. 5.

Currently, a gate prevents vehicle access to the site itself, requiring approximately a 1/4 mile walk from a temporary parking area; day-use passes are required and available through Recreation. gov or on-site via Scan&Pay.

This is a key access point for paddlers running the advanced Class IV-V rapids of the Sandy River Gorge, though all commercial and competitive use requires a BLM permit.
