Plenty of room to roam around and explore the woods and river. We went for a brief visit, and got a surprise sleet storm, so didn't get to explore as much as we wanted, but will definitely be coming back soon with the fly rods and to do some hiking.

The park was beautiful surrounded by big trees all around. Very helpful staff and well maintained throughout. Was surprised to see deers roaming within the park. We camped for two days and we enjoyed every bit of our stay. Showers and flushing toilets are available for campers. The river is easily accessible for simple water activities. Pro tip: for a decent mobile network with lte/5g, you need to drive outside the park for 5 miles.

Cougars and bears walk through the park occasionally, so be aware of your surroundings, make noise and hike with a friend! Also, the river is fast and cold so please take extra precautions when going in the water. We always recommend wearing a life jacket.

Not by the water. There are picnic tables along the road with grills. If you get one close enough to a pathway to the water, it can be a short/enjoyable walk :) #iloveoxbowpark

Hi Jeb, Metro parks have free parking days the third Thursday of every month. You can find more information about free parking days here: https://www.oregonmetro.gov/news/free-parking-days-metro-parks-2020

Can you paddleboard around here?

amanda G | Sep 16, 2020
Oxbow Regional Park (Owner) | Sep 17, 2020

The Sandy River is swift and unpredictable, so I would advise against it. There aren't any areas of the river calm enough to paddleboard within Oxbow. If you go, please be safe and wear a life jacket.

why does it say closes at 7 pm because i want to camp overnight?

Saya Tipton | Sep 16, 2020
Kimberly Richardson | Sep 17, 2020

It depends on where your going. When you Google oxbow park it normally takes you to the park that you have to pay and it closes at 7. If you go to the Lewis and Clark/ Oxbow park you don't have to pay and people camp all around there. Instead of getting off a the marine exit. Go past that exit to the next one Lewis and Clark/Oxbow park. Hope this helps. I did the sane thing.

Is there a place for disabled fishing?

Ed Vranizan | Aug 17, 2020
Oxbow Regional Park (Owner) | Aug 18, 2020

Unfortunately, Oxbow doesn't have a wheelchair accessible area for fishing due to river erosion. Blue Lake Regional Park in Metro's portfolio would be a much better option for disabled fishing.

Is there any tent sites available near River ?

Robert Annese | Dec 16, 2018
Andria Johnson | Dec 17, 2018

There are sites close to the water but not on the water. Try the new campsites they opened up this year in the seventies I believe we had campsite 72 and it was amazing! We just had to walk down the hill to the water. The group sites are pretty much just the same in distance to water as the regular tent sites if not farther. But there are gay sites that are pretty close if not on the water right whe you pull into Oxbow. I hope you go it's beautiful out there. They have added a lot of more campsites and it seems like there's more dear than I've ever seen there. LOL!
