Rockhounding for jaspers, quartz, petrified wood. Kinda sludgy and a popular place for birds, so not the cleanest swim but not the worst. Great place to spend a day, have a picnic or take a walk. If you venture into the wooded area, watch out for shelters and drug paraphernalia. I dont recommend being barefoot. Beautiful view of the river and Mt. Hood. Right across from PDX, can be fun to watch the airplanes.

This is a really great park with lots of ammenities. Bathrooms and nice walking areas throughout. The Forest in the back has a small secluded trail which goes out to some of the most beautiful panoramic views of Mt Hood anywhere in the area. Much more private than other areas and the Beach is more private too. Good for people who wanna have a nice fire or fish. Check it out!

5$ parking. Its usually clean and relatively quiet. Large boat ramp that can easily fit 3 trailers at a time. They have loaner life jackets for kids. I come here as an easy place to launch my kayak and paddle up to 205 and back. Depending on snowmelt this is a pretty easy to relatively strenuous paddle so I recommend checking conditions of the river first, it is the Columbia, after all. This kind of trip usually takes under 3 hours.

My kids love this place! It is usually a nice park and they do their best to keep it cleaned. The bathrooms are handy and close to playground. However the bathrooms could be better kept/clean. Also there has been some caution tape on the play structure. Been there for over a week now, doesnt seem to be broken though?

Love to walk here whenever possible. Theres a 4.6 mile trail along the waterfront. You can stop for coffee or lunch along the path too. Connects to the new Waterfront District with splash pad for kids and multiple walking paths.

It seems like a nice park, I guess. The lication is pretty and there are plenty of areas to hang out. Looked like a great place for volleyball. The womens restrooms have been disgusting both times I have had to use them. They need much better maintenance.

Nice location by the river. Other than our Ham Radio Field Day event, not crowded. Volunteers had mowed the lawn. Restroom open by the boat launch and farther east in the main park area only.

Its beautiful. Sometimes you get a beach and sometimes the water is really high. Its a good place to find rocks for painting. Its full of gulls, ducks, geese, doves, heron, falcon, and crows. Its really peaceful.

This review is for the Boat Launch...Afternoons in summer get all the hoodlums & drug dealers rolling in after the parking attendants are gone. They park on the launch; park in the trailer spots. If it wasnt so conveniently located, Id go elsewhere. Camas has a full time attendant at their launch.At the end of August (or prior in 2018) - when water levels drop - you cant even launch because all the idiots power their boats up onto their trailers - creating a sand bar. The county wont slip in there with a front loader and remove the sand.Once again, where do my Clark County property taxes go? This is why I DONT buy a launch permit for the year. Just pay as you go. Since they never have police or security - you get bad people - but you also dont have to PAY most times. Bad with the Good I guess. Why would I pay for not being able to launch and having my kids see all the trash that rolls in there?

I grew up going to this park and we love it! There are alot of slavics tbh, but they dont bother me as long as no cops are showing up! We got our boat out a little late yesterday (10:20pm) and there were police escorting everyone since a few guys were drifting and got called on - which was frustrating! But yeah, get outta there by 10pm and youll be good. Other than that, the park itself is awesome and filled with many good memories! Also.. dont drink if youre Russian cause theres so much church people there that you might run into! Haha just saying..

*Quiet, clean, relaxing atmosphere surrounded by whispering trees and lush, green grass...a wonderful place to come and meditate or do YOGA. If there happens to be a volleyball game or family bar-b-que in progress, there are plenty of spots in the park itself or you can wander down to the rivers edge to find your Zen!*Great place for FAMILY picnics, tables and a covered pavilion available. There is a very nice play structure close to parking, tables and restrooms!!*PARKING is free here as long as you dont enter the boat launch area.*Very nice and smoothly paved BIKING, JOGGING, WALKING trail with beautiful scenery. Fairly busy but not too bad!

Bathroom shut due to budget cuts, that was kind of crappy, but the park is generally nice. The constant roar of planes landing and taking off from PDX is a little annoying, but if the conversation is good, you can drown it out.

Review №98

5 mile paved trail to Wintler park is plenty wide enough that the drunk homeless guy riding his bike in the middle of the path hauling a trailer full of severed doll heads wont hit you as you jog by. The playtoy area has sand instead of bark chips, so bring beach sand toys for the kiddos.
