NOTE: This web page is a bit old. After it was originally created we did have
issues with tires being slashed at the launch by people who didn't like
people on jetskis. That was around 2010. We haven't been back since.
This page is being left here for historical purposes.

This is where we launch for Ocean freerides on the Salmon river.
Paved ramp with floats, lots of parking. Very nice place to ride,
but there's been trouble in the past with other users. Watch your speed
until you're out of the river and into the ocean. This is a very tide
dependent ramp, plan for high tides. If it's less than +2.0 it is impassible.

On the map linked to above the various blue placemarks are:
Freeride base camp - This a is a good place to beach your PWC
It's protected by the end of the sand spit from the waves.

The next few are self explantory: Bunny Slopes, Big Surf, Big Rollers


This is a picture looking down to where the river meets the ocean.
When you want to take a break you ride up the river a little
and beach on the back side of the sandy point.

The last placemark on the map is a launch on Devil's lake where
you can go to rinse out in fresh water after riding in the Ocean.

In the heart of Lincoln City, at the north end of Lincoln County.
4 public boat ramps, the one pictured is at the southwest end of the
Lake, and is the nicest to use. Not an exciting place to ride.
Windy in the afternoon, warm in the summer, check for contamination
in early fall. Food, lodging, and a parts store in town. Never had a
hard time from anyone for riding here.
