Recreational Areas

Rooster Rock State Park. The most famous beach lining the Columbia River is right below Crown Point. Three miles of sandy beaches, panoramic cascades, and a large swimming area makes this a popular spot. True naturists appreciate that one of Oregon's two designated nude beaches is at the east end of Rooster Rock, and that it's not visible to conventional sunbathers—the area is especially popular with Portland's LGBT community. Rooster Rock is 9 miles east of Troutdale, and it's accessible only via the interstate. I–84, Exit 25, 9 miles east of Troutdale, Corbett, Oregon, 97019. 503/695–2261; www.oregonstateparks.org. Day use $5 per vehicle. Daily 7–dusk.
