About

The shelter provides six picnic tables and two fire grills, shaded by mature trees that make it a comfortable spot for group gatherings during warm summer days. The surrounding McNary Beach Park offers a designated swimming area and convenient access to the Oregon Boat Ramp just downstream. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the Lewis and Clark trail, with its trailhead located at the east end of the park. Nearby attractions include McNary Dam, the Pacific Salmon Visitor Center, Oregon Fish Viewing Room, and the McNary Dam Wildlife Area with natural trails.
