Oxbow Park is the highest point on the Sandy River where anglers are allowed to fish from a boat or kayak. It's also a popular launch point for spending all day on the water. From Oxbow it is about a 6 hour float to Dabney (while fishing anyways) and another 3 hours from Dabney to Lewis and Clark. Parking is $5. Shuttle services are available but need to be organized days in advance. Ideal Sandy River gauge levels for steelhead and salmon fishing is between 9-11'.
