Bethany Lake Park

Bethany Lake is a popular destination for fishing, bird watching, and picnicking at tables set along the park's path. The open fields can be used for Frisbee or tag, there is a community garden, and dogs are allowed on-leash. There is even a small waterfall at the west end of the lake, a soothing sound for quiet contemplation. The half-mile trail through Bethany Lake Park is part of the Rock Creek Greenway trail.

Benson State Recreation Area

Located one mile west of Multnomah Falls on I-84 at milepost 30, picnickers love this park with a disc golf course and a picnic shelters. Free Fishing Day is held here annually around the first weekend of June. Anyone can bring their own pole (or use equipment provided) to try their luck catching some of the thousands of rainbow trout stocked each month into the lake between March and October. This is a non-motorboat lake, so it's perfect for rowboats and swimmers.

Address: 
Exit 35 off I-84, 30 mi. E of Portland
