This would be a very boring park, *except* for the tower by the boat launch which functions as an interpretive museum in its own right. In fact, it holds the key to Vancouver, WA as it explains the industrial roots of the area. The views from there are, however, dull, except for plane-spotting the traffic at Portland across the river.

about as boring as it gets when it comes to parks. Abysmal views, secluded,. +1 for boat launch. If you don have a boat then don't waste your time.

Afternoons in summer get all the hoodlums & drug dealers rolling in after the parking attendants are gone. They park on the launch; park in the trailer spots. If it wasn't so conveniently located, I'd go elsewhere. Camas has a full time attendant at their launch. At the end of August (or prior in 2018) - when water levels drop - you can't even launch because all the idiots power their boats up onto their trailers - creating a sand bar. The county won't slip in there with a front loader and remove the sand.Once again, where do my Clark County property taxes go? This is why I DONT buy a launch permit for the year. Just pay as you go. Since they never have police or security - you get bad people - but you also don't have to PAY most times. Bad with the Good I guess. Why would I pay for not being able to launch and having my kids see all the trash that rolls in there?

This park is nice for a flat walk or bike ride. Lots of pathways, picnic tables, trees, and next to the Columbia River.

Great place for local history as well as seeing the Boat Ramp. There is a 3 story tower that overlooks the area.It is focused on the old Shipyards that date to WW2 and the fighting ships as well as the cargo ships built there. Information is posted on signs around and on the tower. There are picnic tables nearby as well as walking trails too.A lot of the traffic is from trucks with boat trailers going to the nearby Boat ramp (and parking there too). So be careful with little ones and watch out.
