McNary Beach is located on Lake Wallula just upstream of McNary Lock and Dam in eastern Oregon on the Mid-Columbia River.
The park is situated along the bank of the Columbia River. Day users enjoy the relaxing shade of the mature trees throughout the park.
The lake provides great boating opportunities with the Oregon Boat Ramp just downstream and a nice designated swimming area. The trailhead for the Lewis and Clark trail is also located at the east end of the park.
McNary Beach offers one day-use group picnic shelter with six tables and two fire grills.
McNary Dam is just downstream with the Pacific Salmon Visitor Center, Oregon Fish Viewing Room and the McNary Dam Wildlife Area with its beautiful natural trails.
From Highway 730 turn north onto Beach Access Road, drive for about a mile and then turn right onto McNary Beach Road and that will take you right into McNary Beach Park.
Pretty nice area. There is a playground and a bunch of grassy areas and picnic tables looking out to the Columbia River
We discovered this area on total accident. My son and I go out on adventures on a constant basis looking for fun in the sun. I love this area and also loathe the area. There is a lot of garbage that should really be picked up, and there's a lot of quotes seaweed but it is perfect for young children for the simple fact it's shallow for a long time. There is restrooms and picnic tables and a little play area it's a little bit of everything for everyone
So so so many wasps all over! Have an epi pen handy if you are allergic! Otherwise nice park and perfect spot to launch a kayak!
Went in January and it was so beautiful to see during night with snow! Drive safe because of road conditions and icing
