Great beach sand river bottom. Its shallow for a long ways so very kid friendly. Only draw back is lots of shells so have to wear shoes or risk cutting your feet.

I really liked this area mostly because it's kinda tucked back by itself and every time I went I was the only one there it's clean and has a playground good area for dogs like it alot

I actually used this area as a starting point to walk to Hat Rock St. Park. There is a walking trail from here to Hat Rock. It's 5 miles or so to Hat Rock and 5 or so back. The walk is easy on a great paved path. It follows the river and the views are great. I have camped at Hat Rock plenty of times and done this walk from HR to McNary and then gone back to camp. It is every bit of the 10 miles out and back no matter which side you start at. It's a great day walk if you start at McNary. You can hang out in the park and have a picnic before you leave. If you start at Hat Rock you can camp when you get back. Hat Rock is small but it is a state park. Just check in at the main store. They have tent and rv sites, bathrooms,showers, laundry and a store where you can buy food etc. This is a great trail for a family. No elevation and paved.
