Huge day use park along the Columbia River. Nice restrooms, plenty of shady parking. Two disc golf courses, beaches, and a boat launch. Pass required for entry.
The walk down to the beach is a bit long. If you can handle nudity you will love this place. Fine sand and calm water. I went in the afternoon and tried to paddle around the island but succumbed to the current and wind.
Beautiful place. Nude beach but participation levels vary. The farther west you go the calmer and more "familyish" it is, but naked people basically everywhere. Lots of dogs, part of the beach is an off leash area.
On a 102 degree day the water temp was great. You had to get through some muck to reach the water, so definitely glad I brought water shoes. Bit of a hike from parking lot to beach. Depth varies with water level, when I was there it was mostly waist-deep.
It’s a fantastic park located along the gorge and 30mins from downtown Portland. There’s plenty of parking, couple of great piers and access to water for floating, swimming and kayaking when the water level is good. Great to bring kids and pets. The rock itself is also well suited for rock climbing with bolts and anchors setup along the face
Amazing facility in the nature for picnic, you can accommodate 199 people and more , there is beach there is a ramp for boats , there is electrical connections under the shade where you can set up your grills, there is a sink and water connection under the shade, a perfect kitchen in the nature, we enjoyed a lot. You will need an entry fee of $5. But the facility is worth it.
