Oregon's dataset of active registrations for non-commercial docks, boat houses, floating cabins, boat ramps, and other structures on state waterways. It is maintained by the State of Oregon Department of State Lands and was last updated on March 22, 2026. The data includes structures for voluntary habitat restoration and those maintained by Drainage Districts.
Use Cases
- Mapping permitted waterway structures based on registration types like docks and wharfs.
- Analyzing the distribution of habitat restoration projects along navigable waterways.
- Monitoring compliance for structures like retaining walls and tide gates under state regulations.
- Assessing recreational infrastructure density using data on boat ramps and mooring buoys.
Strengths
- Includes specific size thresholds for structures (e.g., docks ≤ 2,500 sq. ft., cabins ≤ 1,500 sq. ft.).
- Covers a diverse range of structure types from recreational to ecological (e.g., revetments, habitat projects).
- Provides direct contact information ([email protected]) for registration inquiries.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
