Long walk to get out to the water but worth it once you get there. There is also an island with sand dunes that you can swim or float to. Most people will be nude, but not everybody. One of the very few clothing optional beaches in our country, Rooster Rock State Park is also known for its sandy beaches and extremely beautiful surroundings. Here, Columbia River is rather wide so that water is smooth; walking in the shallow water as the gentle wind kisses your face, it is delightful to cool off during the summer hot day. At the east end of the park is the Sand Island where you will see some sand dunes as high as 40 feet. I saw a few osprey nests where adult birds were busy feeding their babies.

This beautiful state park located on the Columbia Gorge is home to one of Oregon's legal clothing optional beaches. This clothing optional beach is shard by nudists, kite boarders, wind surfers, fishermen, hikers and others. The Park Rangers are visible and friendly. The park is maintained and provides a great time for recreation and fun. A summer day you will find the clothing optional area parking lot full.

Soft sandy beaches. Plenty of available shade. Multiple 'hideaways' ;- wink wink You can literally walk halfway across the Columbia River before wetting your chest. Trust me, I just did it yesterday,
