Oxbow Regional Park Area Access provides a popular launch point on the Sandy River with a boat launch facility, free life jackets available in summer, and ample parking.

The park offers day-use access ($5/car) with restrooms, picnic areas, and 12 miles of trails, though cell service is limited and the area experiences ongoing erosion issues near the boat launch.

Multiple river access points support fishing, floating, and paddling activities, with the Sandy River Water Trail offering popular float routes to/from this location.
