This site includes more than 1,000 acres of waterfront property along both banks of the East Fork Lewis River between Paradise Point State Park north of La Center and Daybreak Park north of Battle Ground. It is part of an interconnected, 10-mile greenway system.

The entire greenway is state-designated priority habitat for large concentrations of migratory waterfowl, wintering bald eagles, and features high-quality riparian habitat. Most of the greenway is open to the public, but is not developed. There are no formal park amenities.

This small park provides access for non-motorized boats to the Tualatin River Water Trail.

Located five miles upsteam from the Willamette River at the confluence of the Yamhill River and Palmer Creek, this 1.4-acre county park has a small boat ramp and ample parking. A footbridge connects Dayton Landing to the City of Dayton's Alderman Park, across the Yamhill. A nature trail beginning at nearby Dayton Grade School travels along Palmer Creek and connects to Dayton neighborhoods.

The classic summer place, Dabney has been a popular cooling-off swimming and picnic spot for over 50 years. It's easy to see why when you visit. The lower, older part of the park at the west end features an asphalt trail leading down to a classic swimming hole. The newer parts of the park feature a covered picnic shelter, an 18-hole disc golf course and trails winding through tall bamboo, horsetail, cottonwoods and alders.

On the banks of the Tualatin River, the 79-acre Cook Park is the largest park in the City and has something for everyone.
