Government Island State Recreation Area

True urban adventure is just one adrenaline-driven canoe trip away. At over 2,200 acres, the site is actually a small archipelago of islands in the Columbia River anchored by massive, elongated Government Island in the center and surrounded by the much smaller Tri Club and Lemon Islands to the west and McGuire and Ackerman Islands to the east. It is accessible by boat only. There are two docks and a floating tie-up on the north side of the main island. With 15 miles of shoreline, the park is popular with anglers.

Address: 
Accessible by boat only, off of NE Marine Dr.

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.
