Getting there
The City of Keizer provides access at Keizer Rapids Park, 1900 Chemawa Road N, which has a parking area, a single-lane boat ramp, a dock and a water-trail launch point about 0.7 mile from the city of Keizer and 3 miles from Salem.
On site
Keizer Rapids Park has an off-leash dog area and walking and biking paths, though these are park amenities rather than features of the rapid itself.
