Irish Bend Park, located 18 miles south of Corvallis, provides boat launch access to the Willamette River for non-motorized boats. The site was acquired by the State in 1968 through federal greenway funds and turned over to the County Parks Board for local management. Irish Bend is primarily undeveloped. Boat access is hampered by the presence of a sand bar at the launch site. Find the park at the end of Irish Bend Road, off Old River Road, off 99W.
