The new Washougal Waterfront Park includes a dedicated non-motorized boat launch area for easy access to the Lower Columbia River Water Trail. A concrete ramp provides easy access to a gravel beach. The site is particularly useful for non-motorized boats because if avoids conflicts motorized boaters at the Port of Camas-Washougal boat ramp and marina and because paddlers do not have to paddle through the marina to get to the river.
