Current 2010 Fee Structure
 Before the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens, Columbia River boaters
could launch at Gerhart Gardens near the mouth of the Cowlitz River. Since then,
however, boat launchings have been hindered by volcanic silt in the Cowlitz River.
The only other boat launch for Longview/Kelso residents have been at the Kalama Marina and
the Weyerhaeuser Boat dock in Longview. Weyerhaeuser closed their launch on Sunday,
August 1, 1999.
The Willow Grove Boat Launch has 4 lanes and a large parking lot. On Monday,
August 2, 1999 there were already 10 trucks and trailers in the parking lot. The new
launch will fill a much needed launch access to the Columbia River for Cowlitz County
Residents.
