Washougal Waterfront Park features a dedicated non-motorized boat launch, offering convenient access to the Lower Columbia River Water Trail. A concrete ramp leads to a gravel beach, making it an ideal launch spot for kayaks and canoes. This site is especially well-suited for paddlers, as it avoids congestion with motorized boats at the nearby Port of Camas-Washougal marina, and there's no need to navigate through the marina to reach the river.A 12-foot-wide paved trail loops around the park, stretching just under a mile. Along the way, visitors will find a non-motorized boat launch, a children’s nature-inspired play area, scenic viewpoints, interpretive signage, and small access trails that lead down to the Columbia River. Leashed pets are welcome throughout the park.
Safety Note:
Currents around Washougal can be swift. If you're heading downstream, be prepared to paddle out into the river quickly to steer clear of the marina located just downriver.
