From here, you can expect to see tens of thousands of dusky and cackling Canada geese in the spring and fall, along with countless other waterfowl.

You can continue on the footpath from there. It's quite wet, and waterproof boots are necessary unless you like damp socks. The views are beautiful! We went slow, took lots of pictures, watched a juvenile hawk hunt, and sat to watch for butterflies on the Kincaid's lupine. We saw the Fender's blue butterfly, both a male and female! I had so much fun and came back the next week!

Awesome spot, but you need a good car! Drove a RAV4 to the…read moregate, then walked a short distance. You definitely need a capable car because some uphill parts are rough and slippery (almost lost traction). The hike down is a bit steep and slippery but there are ropes to help. Tip: Bring gloves! After reaching the bottom, just follow the stream to the beautiful waterfall. We had a picnic there and it was so chill. There are no trash cans here,please take your trash with you. I felt like being at a childhood summer camp with the hiking and climbing. The water was too cold to swim this time, but I'll definitely be back during the summer!

Beautiful falls. Reminds me of Svartifoss falls in Iceland. The hike is little treacherous. Parking…read moreis not good at the main trailhead. Recommended parking at the OHV area which makes the hike 4 mile long in total.

Lovely adventure…read more Parking is 4 ish spaces along the road. Small trailhead with info plaque. Trail is steep, paved, and pretty short. The erratic rock is on a bluff overlooking wine country. There's some interesting native plants and the rock is impressive. Deposited by glacial floods when the big ice dam broke.

This is a really great park sitting along the Willamette River. The park has a nice large…read moreplayground; it would only be better if there was a fence but there are steps so that slows a kiddo down. The Riverfront Park includes the playground and just grassy area (which is nice for all the folks we saw picnicking), and the carousel, plus food trucks congregate in the amphitheater area sometimes. The day we were there there were three of them and plenty of space for a couple more. Nice option to go grab a snack. There were a few picnic tables and we were able to claim one of them. The bathrooms were pretty gross. There was no soap or anything in them and one was in yucky shape. That led us to the port-a-potty, which was pretty gross but a little less gross than the permanent toilets. There's a large parking lot here since they must have lots of various activities taking place here. I'm glad we visited here (at a friend's recommendation) and got to enjoy this (mostly) well-kept park.

A carousel ($2 person-go to gift shop to buy the coins) Large grassy areas to run or let the dog roll around (on leash). Really large area of outdoor play area with climbing, swings and slides.

The restrooms are brand new (sticker said 2021,) the trails are well maintained and easy, and it is right by the Willamette River. Not a lot of trash and random people hanging out, though I did see the cap of a needle (at least if someone was shooting up, they picked up their needle.) Lots of wild animal scat, which made me wonder what sort of wildlife I would see during the early morning and evening hours- it appeared to be bobcat and coyote, though I saw some that looked oddly like black bear. The hike's aren't terribly exciting, but it's easy and probably good for kids or people that don't particularly like hiking.
