Wye Park Boat Ramp serves as the ending point for the Tapteal Water Trail, a 30-mile paddling route along the lower Yakima River, and provides access to Lake Wallula with parking and nearby food options.

The ramp is located adjacent to Bateman Island, a popular 160-acre area for fishing and birdwatching, and connects to the Sacagawea Heritage Trail system for multi-sport recreation opportunities.
