Paradise Point State Park

Was really surprised with how beautiful the trail is. Gorgeous view of the river and even a little waterfall in the woods. 10/10 and I will definitely return. Fairly easy trail, great for families, however trail is a little overgrown at points.

Paradise point is my favorite! We go multiple times a summer! The sand is so soft and fluffy! The water is shallow for a way so it’s safe for the kids and not very fast flowing. The bridge above is so loud but I love it because it provides shade. It requires a discovery pass.

This park is nice, very good for RV camping and car camping. The site is maintained fairly well, and they had two rangers nearby all weekend. Bathrooms and showers nearby. Each site has a table and firepit. Lewis River is close by if you want to paddleboard, kayway, etc. This campsite is right next to the interstate, so unfortunately you'll hear traffic the whole time. The river was excellent to paddleboard on. Traffic in the river is moderate to heavy over the weekend and some people jetski there. The jetskis wouldnt be so bad, but they don't always slow down when passing others on the water, causing wake.

This is a great place little to spend the day. It’s about a 30 minute drive from Portland. It cost $10 for day use, and you can pay there or use your Discover Pass. There are campsites, day-use picnic benches and a couple of areas where you can access the water. Great for kayaking. There is a 2 mile loop trail that’s very nice and allows you to walk along the water. The trail is muddy and often not super well maintained.

Dogs are welcome on leash.
