Washington State Parks: Maryhill State Park
Backed by golden hills and fronted by the mighty Columbia River, Maryhill State Park is a welcoming place for all kinds of guests. Windsurfers seek thrills on the river, while cultural tourists explore nearby attractions, and parents succeed in occupying kids’ short attention spans.
In fact, the kids may be content to swim in the shallows and play on the park lawn for days. Maryhill offers that classic state park experience, with camping, boating, fishing and relaxation.
As with all river front parks in the Columbia River Gorge, trainspotting is also a part of the Maryhill experience. The Burlington Northern SantaFe tracks just north of the park carry around 24 trains a day. This can be a noisy proposition for light sleepers, but great fun for kids and train enthusiasts.
PARK FEATURES
Maryhill State Park is an 89-acre camping park with 4,700 feet of waterfront on the Columbia River in Klickitat County. The area is significant for its natural beauty, access to the surrounding natural wonders and cultural history.
