Floods every winter

This park floods every winter. I advise planning your trip for the spring or summer knowing that there is a lot of shaded trails to keep you cool. Mosquitoes can be a problem at dusk because of the water. A lot of work has been done to keep this site up for public education and trails - we take elementary students to this site every spring to have a field science day. The largest Black Cottonwood tree resides at this park and is worth seeing!

Only for horseback riders

This State Park has a hiker/biker area due to it's location on the Willamette Valley Bikeway. There is no potable water, so you must plan to pack enough water for the night and the next morning or filter Willamette River water.

There is also a campground for horseback riders specifically for those who want to ride their horses in the park.

The area is pretty with lots of trails and paved paths. There are opportunities for fishing also.
