McNary Beach Recreation Area — Attraction in Hermiston

I actually used this area as a starting point to walk to Hat Rock St. Park. There is a walking trail from here to Hat Rock. It's 5 miles or so to Hat Rock and 5 or so back. The walk is easy on a great paved path. It follows the river and the views are great. I have camped at Hat Rock plenty of times and done this walk from HR to McNary and then gone back to camp. It is every bit of the 10 miles out and back no matter which side you start at. It's a great day walk if you start at McNary. You can hang out in the park and have a picnic before you leave. If you start at Hat Rock you can camp when you get back. Hat Rock is small but it is a state park. Just check in at the main store. They have tent and rv sites, bathrooms,showers, laundry and a store where you can buy food etc. This is a great trail for a family. No...

We discovered this area on total accident. My son and I go out on adventures on a constant basis looking for fun in the sun. I love this area and also loathe the area. There is a lot of garbage that should really be picked up, and there's a lot of quotes seaweed but it is perfect for young children for the simple fact it's shallow for a long time. There is restrooms and picnic tables and a little play area it's a little bit of everything...

Of course is the Columbia River the water is calm and peaceful the beach is always clean and nice the park is well kept, toys out there for the kids to play on BBQ grills so all you need to do is bring the coals and the food. you can play music out there the parking lot has plenty of spaces it's just a good family...
