    We came here for a private event. Seemed like a pretty big place with lots of parking. Several trails all around, including some down by the water. It was nice to be able to come hang out by the water for a bit but didn't see any actual water access where we were. Didn't see people on the water either so it may not be an option. Lots of open space for different activities you might want to enjoy outside. Cleaner than other parks I've been too for sure. Didn't see trash around or piles near garbage bins. Bathrooms were reasonably clean too. It's a decent place to stop to get some outdoor time.

    Our go to park for bike riding, they have ample bike paths that are away from traffic and completely safe feeling. If you want to be adventurous you can ride down to Oregons oldest store and take a break with some great ice cream or lunch. The campground is off to the back so the park traffic has little effect. Great boat launch with a kayak launch as well. Tons of stuff to do here from birding or a museum about Oregon heritage, disc golf or just relaxing in the shade its a Great family destination

    What a beautiful, large natural park with lots of walking and biking trails. Informative, small museum with a free 15 minute video. Parking and admission is $5.00 total. Very nice clean restrooms. Lots of shaded picnic benches.

    Nice bike/walking paths.

    We try to check out all state parks. This one had never popped on our radar, as due to its location you're probably not likely to happen upon it. We stopped by hoping for some scenery and a good hike. There's a decent amount of parking right inside the gate, as well as a info building...however we drove on in, past the disc golf area, and up near the river where there's a large grassy field in which to park. We started out on a trail from there. The trails are winding around all throughout the park which seems to cover a LOT of ground. We wound around small shaded dirt trails along the water, into a more forested area, and back along a wider open, paved bike path back to our start. The park itself is pretty interesting. Things are pretty overgrown, leaving many areas to feel abandoned. We guessed maybe typical staffing issues might make it less groomed...or maybe much of the park just isn't used as it once was? We really chuckled as we walked past the disc golf course. The majority of holes were in waist to neck high grass, yet the course was busy...busiest course I'd seen anywhere actually. Interesting State Park for sure. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to return, but it made for an interesting afternoon hike.

    Too many leafy trees and leaf litter was obnoxious. It was everywhere. That and fir needles. Just a mess.

    Lovely day for disc golf

    Just an Oasis on the off beaten path. I gieees it's a victim of its own success. By that I mean they have thought of everything. Bike paths walking paths, horse riding, lakes picnic areas, wildlife viewing, disc golf, history areas. I am sure I have not listed everything here. This park has it all. So guess what? It can get a little crowded. The entry fee $5 at the time I went is auto collected via a vending type machine that provides a receipt to be displayed on your dash. Upon entry there are many choices for your adventure. The bike paths seem to be endless and take you on any size adventure you want to choose or make. Very well maintained some spots are showing their age with cracks and or raised bumps. But overall still on good shape and usually clear of debris. The Disc Golf course is good for beginners and intermediate alike. Some easy straight forward holes. Other requiring a bit more skill to make it in the prescribed Par amount of throws. The course seems to always be well attended so be prepared to wait at some holes and let others play through at some holes. It could be a little better marked bit that seems to be the standard for disk golf. Multiple hope setting close to each other so you are not sure which net you are shooting at till you get closer. A good spread out walking course. Exercise and fresh air.

    I rode a Recumbent so a little wider and just fine.

    We came here just to ride bikes and had a great ride along the Willamette. Nice paved path, you definitely had to yeild to lots of other bikers, walkers and people with dogs but loved the trail we did along the river and had a great ride. We would definitely back and rent a yurt and ride bikes again:) just needed $5 for the day use fee but for someone looking for pretty flat riding it was great.

    This park was a family favorite for a number of years when my boys were small. So it was a bit of a blast from the past to visit this weekend during 'summer in February.' Champoeg (Sham-poo-eee) is still a nice spot for biking with our kids, since is has a nice wide (relatively flat) paved trail system. But compared to Silver Falls, Multnomah Falls and Forest Park, it certainly lacks the wow factor. You pretty much need to bring the fun with you to enjoy this state park. It is nestled along the banks of the Willamette River so bring your canoe, kayak or power boat. One of the more interesting features is a large disc golf course that runs through the middle of the park. There are six yurts and a handful of wood cabins for rent year round. There are also a number of RV hookups, but the camping areas are not heavily wooded so you are rather exposed (visually and aurally) to your neighbors. I've been here for company picnics in the large group camp areas and it seems to be a popular spot for classic car shows in the summer. We've visited the park for special events at the pioneer cabin when volunteers demonstrate what pioneer life was like in the area. http://www.champoeg.org/promisep.htm No visit to the area in the summer is complete without stopping by the Historic Butteville Store for ice cream. It is only open from May - September on the weekends.

    Relaxing after a little walk before heading out to the wineries!

    So here's the thing. This isn't a great place to be if you're looking for great hiking or stuff like that. It is however a fun place to rent a yurt and go playing in the wine country. We came here on a week night during the 'off season' in October. There were only a few people in the park and we loved our little yurt. It was a perfect spot for a night's sleep after driving through the wine country. It even had a small heater to keep the place cozy. Loved being outside in the chilly night by the campfire, sipping on some of the wine we bought. The yurt however needs some maintenance - it was hard to roll up the window on the exterior as some parts were broken/missing and they didn't seal well anymore either at night. But overall, an upgrade from the tent.

    Camping rates are going to make you stay. It's off the driven path. The bathrooms were closed, OOOPPS.
