Molalla state park is almost like a secret park, mostly visited by local area residents, or people who grew up in the area and have returned for some summertime fun. Because it is quite a ways from a main road the park doesn't get a ton of "random" visitors. Mostly it sees people who know how to get there and are intentionally going there. Because of these circumstances it is fortunate for us, that more often than not, this park is not a super busy place. Don't get me wrong, the park can easily and quickly fill up with people depending on what time of the year it is and what time of the day it is. But that's not the normal setting at Molalla state park.  Even though it is technically a boat ramp/launch it is not a well maintained one, it has always given off an abandoned, unsafe, long-lost and forgotten vibe. Which scares me to use it but my husband grew up on the river and knows all the nooks and crannies that the Wilmette River tries to hide and thank goodness we've always had success launching and loading our boats and jet skis. We have seen others with less luck than us and it is never a pretty sight to watch a boat or a truck get ruined because the ramp is not clearly marked or even visible from land. Do to those conditions 99% of people come here to swim off the ramp, float around in tubes, launch their kayaks, peddle boats, or little fishing boats. There is always someone fishing off of the ramp and it seems like they are always catching something. There are numerous trails along the river that you can duck off and find that perfect spot to cast a line. There are also little ponds that are inside the park, I've witnessed a few fish being reeled in from those but personally I've always only had luck catching gigantic bullfrogs in there. There are public restrooms, picnic tables and a decent amount of parking. It's a nice place to go. I believe if the ramp was even in a sixteenth of the great condition that the Charbonneau marina is in, then the park would become very well-known and immediately over populated, in turn making it not such a great place to go, not a family(and pet) friendly amazing little park.
