Yes you can there is 2 public beachs now. Poet's Beach and I can't remember the name of the second one is brand-new is on the East Bank. Plus you could get in at the bowl by the marina. But there are no boat ramps you'd have to go to Willamette Park for that.
Not legally. You can dive in, but you'd get in serious trouble.
