Dabney State Recreation Area

Park Overview

This shaded park is located on the Sandy River southeast of the Stark Street Bridge on the Historic Columbia River Highway (Hwy 30). A popular destination for fishing, boating and swimming, the park features a beach area that fills quickly in the summer months, as well as picnic tables and grills throughout.

A picnic shelter can be reserved for events with up to 50 people. The shelter is next to a volleyball court and horseshoe pits.

An 18-hole disc golf course is popular year-round, and is one of the most technical and challenging courses in the Northwest.

Know Before You Go

• Be aware of swift currents and hidden obstructions beneath the surface. Do not swim, float, paddle or boat without a life jacket. Wearing a life jacket, and making sure it fits properly, saves lives. 
• Two life jacket loaner stations are on site, with life jackets of various sizes available. 
• No pets are permitted.
• Alcohol is permitted in the park and picnic area. Alcohol is not permitted on the beach, or on the beach below the Stark Street Bridge.
