DESHKA LANDING OUTDOOR ASSOCIATION LLC
SUSITNA AND DESHKA RIVER BOAT LAUNCH WILLOW, ALASKA
To provide year-round excellent access to the Lower-Susitna drainage, while offering responsible customer service, habitat/environmental protection, and financial stability for its members.
DLOA LLC was formed in 1998 to insure that there is continued access to the Lower Susitna Drainage. The drainage includes the Susitna River, Deshka River, Yentna River, and the Alexander Creek and all their tributaries. We provide year-round access to the river system via a boat launch ramp. We encompass approximately 41 acres, of which about 20 acres is use for the main parking lot to include parking, storage, a small store, indoor restrooms, and fuel.

Water levels are relatively lower than we have seen this summer, heading into fall we will have a downward trend unless there is more precipitation. Heavy boat loads are not recommended, plan ahead and be safe.
There will be significant changes in places along the river so watch out for new sandbars and my favorite, glacial mud. Grey color, could be water, gravel, sand or mud.
There have been several groundings reported and old channels that are very shallow now as compared to previous years.
Still very wet and more rain in the forecast. The flooding along the Yentna continues without relief in sight. Susitna is also rising with much more debris in the water. Jet boats are reporting lots of clogged impeller. Be prepared, wear flotation and have a plan in case something goes wrong.
