Outstanding series of trails for year round hiking. The trails are well cared for and there's plenty of friendly hikers and bikes and dogs. Hiking feels safe here, and it's beautiful with three water falls, two lakes, and lots of picnic tables and bathrooms. It's one of my favorite easy hikes. read more

This is a great place to spend some leisure time. We took our SUP and had a great time paddling around on the Lacamas lake. It's peaceful, with pretty trees and water lilies. We saw an osprey catching a fish, some ducks, some turtles, and a deer. A lot of nature to observe all while on the SUP paddling or chillaxing at my own speed. read more

Beautiful area surrounded by tall trees and greenery. The playground itself was clean and had the basic playground equipment like a slide, play structure, and swings. The playground is shaded. I love that the playground is a part of the Lacamas Lake Trail! My big disappointment in our visit is that there was overflowing trash in each trash can and the women's bathroom was destroyed. The toilets were packed full of toilet paper and there was a diaper in one of the toilets. There was toilet paper and clothing on the floor of the bathroom. The women's bathroom was not useable and was disgusting. It was on a Monday morning around 10 am and it was obvious that the park maintenance crew had not been there to clean up the mess. Unfortunate that park goers made such a mess, which is not the park crew's fault, but it should have been cleaned up first thing on Monday morning. Disappointing behavior of those who are visiting such a beautiful park and area! read more

Eleven years in this area trips here in all kinds of weather for every season I suggest a couple things: commute with friends parking is limited, several small stores in walking distance, if you want direct access to canoe or paddle boards you need to park on Lake road. If you just want a great walk, playground or picnic park on Everett Road. Breathtaking views everywhere and no diving off the bridge ( people have perished doing so) Dog friendly and public restrooms are wheelchair accessible as there are cement walkways to the rest area near bbq stands ( briquettes or wood fuel must be brought to be useful) Many photo opportunities and you will find people so kind and friendly it's wonderful. Bicycle trails are along with walking paths so be mindful of pedestrians. Enjoy the views and clean natural beauty There are picnic tables and handwashing are also read more

This is one of the better parks I have been to. I traveled all the way from Southeast Portland. It's calm more like a stroll than a hike clean not too many pets. read more

This park was a wonderful place to stop and explore. The lake and river are very pretty and scenic. The playground is somewhat small but it is well maintained. The park is clean. There is a parking lot to park in. There are plenty of trails to walk or jog on. There are bathrooms at this park. The bathrooms were clean when I was there. There is an eating area with picnic tables. There are several picnic tables scattered throughout the park. There are swings and toddler swings at this park. There are wood chips underneath the playground. The playground only has one slide. There are two spinning toys to play on at this playground. Have fun out there. -Dadzone read more

I have hiked the Lacamas Heritage Trail (just around the bend from here) many times so have driven past Lacamas Park enough to peak my curiosity. Last weekend I decided it was time to bring my dog and go exploring on our first hike. We had an amazing time. We came at dawn so it was relatively quiet and peaceful. It allowed us to enjoy the sites and sounds of nature. There is so much beauty to explore here between Round Lake and the many waterfalls. You can easily get a nice 2 mile hike and possibly more. We will definitely be back many times over. Important to note that parking can be quite limited later in the day. read more

My wife originally discovered Round Lake as a kayaking destination, and it has evolved (for us) into a place for easy hikes and picnicking. With every visit, we've explored paths that we haven't been on before. Trail maps with "you are here" are placed at critical spots throughout the park, though we also find that taking a picture of one can help confirm that we're heading the right way. The main parking lot near the northwest corner of the lake is on the small side. There is additional parking north of the lake, down the street where the path around Round Lake takes you. The main paths are wide, smooth, and well maintained, which I find to be a huge benefit. When I'm hiking, and have to constantly be looking at my feet, watching out for roots and loose rocks, I don't get to enjoy my surroundings much at all. If you decide to visit the waterfalls in the park, you will find secondary trails that can be much steeper and narrower. The cascading destinations are worth the extra work. read more

Love this park! There are three parking lots available, two on the smaller side. There are restrooms available during summer months. This park is very lush with picnic tables and grills spread out for privacy. The view of the lake is gorgeous! There are over 6 miles of trails, some of which intertwine. If you're new to these trails, a map is a good idea; one could easily get lost if not familiar as the trails aren't all marked. I just took a picture of the trail map by the parking area to have as reference in case I needed it. The trails are lush and mainly dirt and rocks. If you walk down to lower falls the trail can be a little more treacherous. Some of the hills are steep and some rocks loose. Make sure you wear the proper footwear. There are a few falls to see, many creeks, a dam and a couple lakes (Lacamas and Round). Overall a wonderful place to get outside for fresh air and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend. read more

Nature trails that surround the lake. Never too crowded which is nice. Clean trails, cute little park for the kids, and pathways that lead in different directions. Trails are bike friendly. I believe you're able to fish, might need a permit. There are bathrooms, though I'm not sure if they're open during this time. read more

This is a nice park in Camas. If I lived nearby, I'd come a lot to hike the one mile trial around the lake. For everyone else, it's probably not a "destination" park. We were in the area and decided to make a stop to hike around the lake with our kids, ages one and four. They both enjoyed the hike and the playground. We saw lots of paddle boarding and kayaking, which is probably a lot more fun than the "hike." Overall, this is an adequate place to pass time on earth before you die, but I don't t recommend driving out of your way to do it. read more

PRO: Great spot! Hiking, picnics, kayaking, SUPs, and small boats are fun here! CONs: Don't go if you want to fish! read more

If you're coming here to hike, definitely get the AllTrails app. Even with the app, we got a little lost in the trees. Ended up walking around 4 miles, but ever bit of it was awesome. You are the park when you first arrive, there are picnic tables, grills, kid's playground and public bathrooms. Once you keep walking you'll see the dam, and then you'll get into the trees where the hike begins. I wish we had more time to explore it all and see more. However, what we did see was magical! Would definitely recommend checking this spot out! read more

Now that we've visiting here a few times and have time to explore all the various trails, I am upping them a star to 5-star status! There are a few Yelp listings for the same general park/lake/trail...a Lacamas Lake listing, Lacamas Park listing and a trail listing. Nice lake & park with a couple of different trails for hiking and even some small waterfalls. One trail is 1.2 miles & goes around the smaller portion of the lake. The trails, for the most part, are not paved so if it has rained recently you will encounter mud. The trail around the lake has several small inclines and dips on the uneven earthen path. All easy hikes but something to keep in mind if you have little ones with you or someone with limited mobility. There is a small playground area, picnic tables and a grill near the parking lot. There are also restroom facilities but when we visited on March 23 there was a sign that said the restrooms were closed for the season (I'm assuming Winter since Spring had just started) so I'm not sure when those reopen again. We saw some folks fishing along the shore and kayaking, canoeing & paddle boarding are allowed. There is a kayak rental place across the street. The parking lot is somewhat small considering the size of the park area but I did see a sign for overflow parking down the road. We walked by the overflow lot while hiking around and it is another small lot. Some folks choose to park along the road and walk over. Expect it to be busy when the weather is nice out during Spring, Summer & Autumn on the weekends, but well worth it. Come early to beat the crowds! read more

Great community park and beautiful scenic walk. It's so lush and green, but a bit creepy. I don't feel safe to walk by myself. read more

I love Lacamas Park and I feel so fortunate to live walking distance to it. It's honestly one of the best little outpost pockets of Camas, especially for young families. The entire area is surrounded by very tall evergreens with a large open grass area in the center. My family and I had family portraits taken in that exact spot last summer because it is just so beautiful and serene. It's also perfect for laying out a picnic or spending an afternoon running around with the kiddos. There is a covered area that can be used for birthday parties and it's conveniently located right next to the large play structure! The play area is ideal for any age and there are benches surrounding the area for us moms and dads to rest our feet after an exhausting day of kid activities and errands :D Another awesome feature to keep in mind in the park is the low beach area on the north end where you can easily get in the water with kayaks and blow-up floaties. It gets packed in the summer, but it's handy for easily getting into Round Lake with large equipment and little kiddos. Lastly there are trails that connect from Lacamas Park and those are also an awesome touch to the area. You don't have to go very far to get outdoor, take in some fresh air and get a share of nature! read more

A beautiful park by Lacamas Lake. A local spot where kids jump over the little walking bridge. There are a good number of picnic tables (6+) on the lake front. A few place where there is a grill. There is a large grassy area near entrance where one can put down a blanket. A Restrooms for both genders is available. I saw stand up paddle boarders and canoers in this enclosed portion of the lake, no wake by the numerous jetskiers and boats in larger portion of the lake. The parking lot is limited but with patience you can get a spot. read more

Very nice place to visit for any ages, many people bring their kids and dogs to take around the park trail and teens go down to the more difficult places to get to as a hang out spot. The area was usually decently clean but ever since Covid had started, the amount of litter and garbage that can be found sprinkled throughout the trails and in the river has increased. Another caveat of this park is the amount of parking spaces; the parking lot for the park itself is very small, which is what leads many people to park across the street or down the road on another property during the summer. Overall, it is still a very nice place to go to and visit, take your dog, or go on a nice trail. read more

Lacamas Park and the two lakes (Round Lake, and Lacamas Lake) are great places to kayak, paddle board, or fish! In the summer there are usually multiple family friendly kayak and paddle board rental places on the lakes. There are hiking trails around both lakes, and a small Camas Lily field on Round lake. It's a fun place to go year round!! read more

Beautiful trails. Really appreciate how clean and well kept this place is. It's an easy drive of about 30 minutes from Portland, ample parking, and the trails are lovely. I went with a couple of family members who are not avid hikers and they thought it was an easy hike. There are offshoot trails here and there if you want a more secluded walk, but the main trails are wide, without much to trip on. Would be great for families with small children. The lake also looks beautiful but we didn't go in so I can't give details. Would definitely come back. read more
