We have a special place in our hearts for this place.. I won't tell you why, but it just feels good when were here. They have a single outhouse and tons of parking if you can drive through thick river rock. GREAT FISHING, BOAT LAUNCHING OR PICK UP, DAY USE AND PLAYING IN THE RIVER. If you like to hunt for cool rocks this is the place too. Really pretty.. BUT REMEMBER NO CAMPING, CLEAN UP YOUR MESS AND KEEP fires to a small modest flame and clean it up before leaving and all of us locals will let you visit again, but if it's to hard to clean up after yourself.. well then STAY THE HELL AWAY PLEASE.. THANKS

I got married here in October 2021. Grew up fishing and swimming here as well. One outhouse, lots of sun, and river access. Great spot to watch the jet boat runs during Memorial weekend.

This is one of our most visited parks. It is a drive on rock bar. Their are some nice spots to swim. Current can be swift in spots at this park. Could see this being a party spot later at night. We have never stayed past 7 to 8 pm. Thier is very little to no shade at water edge, so bring accommodations to protect from the sun if you plan on playing for a long time.

Love coming down here with the kids. Just put the fire pit in for the world to make dinner. Easy to get to, clean, everybody keeps to themselves. Great spot, will always be back.

There is no camping at Matson. It is for fishing/swimming/day use.

Is it safe to swim?

It was just a few years ago that some kids were playing on a surf board that was somehow attached to the shore and one of them drowned. Just be careful as there is a big hole just below the rapids at the turn of the river. I'd swim just below the hole and you should be fine.
