A wonderful spot to take your dogs where they can explore 100 archers of land and water with the…read moreluxury of being off leash. There's enough room for dogs to run around while not interacting with one another.

Perhaps if we had a dog we'd like this park more, as it seems like a popular place for people to…read morebring their dogs to run off leash and to play in the river. Even in places of the park where dogs are supposed to be on a leash, 99% of them were not. We were disappointed in the park from our human hiking perspective, and since you have to pay a $5 day-use fee if you don't have a paid park pass, it is unlikely we'll return. But if you have a dog, you might like it.

Our new favorite park! Never crowded and tons of things to do…read more The kids get to play on all the playground equipments, walk on the trail, play basketball or just chase each other around. People/children visiting are nice and respectful. One of the good parks around my area.

Easy launch site for kayaks as well as motor boats. This is a clean, well-tended park with…read morebeautiful views of the Columbia. There are plenty of trees to sling a hammock or just to chill in the shade. The western part of the park offers a smallish beach and shallow water for family picnics. There's a lot of parking--much of this park is dedicated to parking. There are life jackets available via the honor system to keep people safe. I truly appreciate that move. In truth, this may not be the best picnicking area with only five tables available, but if you don't mind spreading a blanket and enjoying a more intimate view of the beach and the river, this could work out well. There is a day use fee of $5 and you can pay at the entrance via a park employee or at one of the autopay stations. There are 10 gender neutral bathrooms and 6 lanes of boat ramps. If you are kayaking or canoeing, the shore is a bit rocky and the water is very dynamic. I had to paddle hard to clear the Island to get to the Washington side of Government Island. Be careful!

This is a sweet little park with a basic walking trail and a gorgeous backdrop of scenery. It's…read morepeaceful, and close to our home so is nice for taking a brief walk with the dogs (no off-leash area, bummer) when we don't feel like driving to the thousand acre park etc.

Beautiful spot to beat the heat, just make sure you purchase your discovery pass before you go. Water is cold but not terrible, you get used to it after a few minutes. Definitely wear good water shoes with decent tread, rocks are very slippery. We will definitely be back (with tubes next time!) btw we are 67 & 58 and climbed down and out no problem

Dougan Falls is so incredibly beautiful. My wife and I go there at least once in each season. This…read moreFall the water was so powerful and it was pouring outside which was a lot of fun because we like outings in the rain! We were the only ones there but there is plenty of parking even when it's busy. Just make sure you have a "Discover Pass". You can swim there in the summer too. It's just a peaceful beautiful place to be and the drive up the Washougal River is beautiful too.

This dog park was recommended to me when I moved to Fairview. It's a large dog park with lots of…read moreareas to roam and there are berry plants everywhere! Anyways walked with my dog during the summer, can't imagine freezing and walking my dog here at the moment but when I did go, it was beautiful and serene and filled with dogs of all kinds. There was a little stream that I noticed the larger dogs hung out in and my little dog and I set for an adventure. Got lost a few times and met other dog owners as well. But definitely an awesome place to bring your four legged friend on a walk.

It's a good 30 minute drive but definitely worth it…read more There are trails that lead in multiple directions so it is easy to get lost unless you have a map on your phone. However, a lot of the trails loop around so if you keep going, you'll eventually get back to where you started. There's a river that your pups can go swimming in and lots of open areas for them to run around. I definitely recommend this place for your pups!

Beautiful large natural lake fed by underground springs…read more Small nonmotorized boats allowed under 3hp. This lake arguably provides the largest & nicest ADA pier for fishing in the greater PDX area. Plenty of shoreline for bank fishing or launching a SUP. Peaceful ADA trail loop and picnic areas throughout. Gold level 18 hole disc golf course is very popular here. Dogs and other pets are not allowed to protect sensitive wildlife areas. $5 parking pass for the day.

I read that the homeowners took over the ownership and full maintenance of the SolarBee water circulation units that minimizes the issues of a stagnant body of water. Those machines have increased the bird and fish populations! The bike paths thru the park are fun and educational as well as an actual wildlife tour! Beavers, Nutria, jackrabbits, Bald Eagles, Ospreys, turkey vultures, coyotes, raccoons, egrets, blue herons, river otters, bass, trout, blue gill, crappies, huge carp, Canadian geese, many kinds of seasonal ducks and I can't name them all but there is more! Yep, it is a real piece of nature that is being preserved and shared with activities like water spray park, basketball, volleyball, frisbee, softball, and a full on certified world class disc golf course ... that's pretty impressive. Oh yeah, all kinds of room for picnics and by yourself or large groups. It's a good size park. It's fun to do whatever you feel like if you need some sporting equipment, some is supplied at the main office.
