Go if

Anglers and families with rafts or tubes get the most out of this place. September and October bring the salmon and steelhead runs, river access is easy via the boat ramp, and reviewers consistently praise the cleanliness and friendly hosts. Bring cash for the kiosk.

Skip if

Wheelchair users and anyone with mobility concerns should know the terrain is genuinely rough in places, with slopes reviewers flagged as unsafe. Also worth knowing: there have been car break-ins in the parking lot, so don't leave valuables in your vehicle.
