Pretty trails, a lot of beach access. A lot of people with dogs. Beautiful picnic area. Most bathrooms currently closed.Nice Sunday walk.

Really nice park, some great picnic areas. Make sure you take the ferry that’s nearby! It’s kind a small place so only a 4.

Went to Molalla River State Park to check out the Molalla rvr. For Fishing. Its very very long walk and there really isnt much access to the river. There is more access to the Willamette River, than the Molalla. Most openings are overgrown and have a ton of stuff to Snag on. Other than that there is a narrow old style boat ramp but no real boat & trailer parking. There is a lot of open grass space near the restroom and picnic tables too.

Definitely more fishing oriented, at least to me. Theres something about the trails that kinda give me a horror film vibe, after what feels like a 10 mile drive into the middle of nowhere, I wouldnt want to be walking around that place after dark. I was visiting solo in the late afternoon in January, so maybe it would feel different with a group.

Nice picnic park. Right on the Willamette river and nice trees and trails. Dogs can run free in the big field and all the way to the mollala river.

Nice park. Didnt have a chance to explore all of it. We hiked a 2 mile loop that took us by the river. We saw plenty of people with fishing poles so I guess this is a good place for fishing. There are lots of picnic areas, places for dogs to run, a pond with turtles, trees, grass and fields. Will definitely be returning.

This is a state park, but dont expect many amenities. There are a couple restrooms, a boat launch, and two foot paths that run along a creek or the river. I wouldnt call it hiking, but its nice for a stroll. There are tons and tons of dogs running around, mostly off leash, even in areas that specifically say leash required, resulting in poop galore. It was clean, and well kept though. No day use fee when I went in January.

Molalla state park is almost like a secret park, mostly visited by local area residents, or people who grew up in the area and have returned for some summertime fun. Because it is quite a ways from a main road the park doesnt get a ton of random visitors. Mostly it sees people who know how to get there and are intentionally going there. Because of these circumstances it is fortunate for us, that more often than not, this park is not a super busy place. Dont get me wrong, the park can easily and quickly fill up with people depending on what time of the year it is and what time of the day it is. But thats not the normal setting at Molalla state park.  Even though it is technically a boat ramp/launch it is not a well maintained one, it has always given off an abandoned, unsafe, long-lost and forgotten vibe. Which scares me to use it but my husband grew up on the river and knows all the nooks and crannies that the Wilmette River tries to hide and thank goodness weve always had success launching and loading our boats and jet skis. We have seen others with less luck than us and it is never a pretty sight to watch a boat or a truck get ruined because the ramp is not clearly marked or even visible from land. Do to those conditions 99% of people come here to swim off the ramp, float around in tubes, launch their kayaks, peddle boats, or little fishing boats. There is always someone fishing off of the ramp and it seems like they are always catching something. There are numerous trails along the river that you can duck off and find that perfect spot to cast a line. There are also little ponds that are inside the park, Ive witnessed a few fish being reeled in from those but personally Ive always only had luck catching gigantic bullfrogs in there. There are public restrooms, picnic tables and a decent amount of parking. Its a nice place to go. I believe if the ramp was even in a sixteenth of the great condition that the Charbonneau marina is in, then the park would become very well-known and immediately over populated, in turn making it not such a great place to go, not a family(and pet) friendly amazing little park.

Nice park for walking or exercising your dog. Went there over Labor Day and still wasnt very crowded. During the week you might not see more than two or three other people. Has your basic park amenities; picnic tables, barbecues public restrooms. Open 6AM to 9PM daily.

Best place to take the dogs for a run. Beautiful park and very friendly other dog owners!

Visited accidentally , but it was a good place

Great open spaces and access to the Willamette River. Google Maps directions puts you on the wrong side of the River, so put the boat ramp into your “saved” locations instead. You need to approach from the Canby side.

Really fun place to take the kids fishing except for the dog people that let there dogs come play in the water when youre already there. I find that majority of them just let them do it extremely disrespectful.

Great place to go for a walk and take the dog for a run.

This is a nice, large park. Its not as specific as nearby Silver Falls State Park, which you visit to see the waterfalls. This one doesnt seem to serve any purpose, which means fewer people.There are picnic tables, a dog area, some unpaved walking trails, and Willamette River boat access. Thats about it. I rarely see many people here. So if you want some solitude, this is a good place for it.

The scenery ranges from Willamette Valley River basin flora to farmland and a hike through a stand of Fir trees. Its dog friendly. Today, some of the neighborhood kids were playing with guns, so we couldnt take the dogs all the way around because our guys are definitely NOT gun dogs. They have picnic tables and barbeques and an area you can reserve. Last thing, they have clean bathrooms with running water. Enjoy your visit!

Great open area for taking the dog.

Clean, well maintained park. Large area for dogs.

This is a nice park and I go frequently but if you are not wild about dogs pick an alternative location. This park is very dog friendly and leash laws are pretty much ignored.

Love it for the leash free areas, the dogs paradise.

Fun place to take a walk and explore with my dog.

This park is great. Its free. Theres lots of pretty fall trees. Its free. Theres goats that hang around the park you can snap some photos of too. And the park is free.

I just went to the Molalla State Park for the first time this past Saturday, it was smaller than I thought it was gonna be. Because we had rain during the week the trails we a bit muddy, but I could see that on a nice sunny clear spring or summer day this place would be beautiful with all the trees and the river right there next to the trail, I will have to come back when we have better weather and try this hike again. The lawn area seemed to be very nice and there were a few people out with their dogs enjoying the day., it seemed like it would be a nice place for a picnic or Barbecue.

Great park. Very clean and well maintained. Nice picnic areas and good for walking dogs!

Nice trails for walking. Lots of room for pets. W/Cs at opposite ends of the park. Plenty of parking.

Great big park. Very large dog excise area with off lease. Small boat ramp into the South side of the Willamette, along with trails that run east all along the Willamette and through the woods to the Molalla and its convergence point, for many great fishing spots. Good times

Seem there, thnk from climapod manufacture greenhouse maker

Its a beautiful place to walk. You can also rent a picnic area and have a great space for a group gathering.

Great place for kids, easy trails and lots of wildlife!

Great place to take your dogs for a walk or run, as well as for them to play with other dogs, really good for running and exercising. They have some grills so you can have cookouts and benches.

Always enjoy this part clean accessible to handicap and just a quiet place to visit

What a gem! My boyfriend and I were looking for a spot to launch our kayaks south of the dam on the Williamatte. So we found this park and our new regular spot. Great fishing, super quiet and tons of rock hounding if you dig that sort of thing.

Large park, this time of year u can pick all the black berries you can, go fishing, hiking, large fields to play in.

Good place to spend time in the water witn the family

Such a beautiful environment. Rivers and a great path to run. If youre lucky youll see goats or a llama.

It was a peaceful beautiful park, bathrooms were scarce. We went and looked at the RV park and cabins and yurts to rent. We are thinking about coming back and staying.

Great spot for the doggos

Good dog park

Cool place to walk around with kids and enjoy nature. We saw some turtles and frogs. There’s a play area for dogs here as well, which is great if you have dogs.

The jogging path is great, the river is right there, beautiful park

As many parks/hiking trails are not so dog friendly these days its great to have a place local that you can bring the dogs where they can run and play. Be aware that many people take their dogs off their leashes here so if thats not your thing this may not be the place for you. Side note the scenery is beautiful and would also make a great place for family photos.

Great place i wish people wouldnt through trash into the river really sad beautiful back drop.

Love parks

Great park! Be aware of people with dogs. Hardly anyone uses a leash, and they are pretty rude about it.

This is a nice park with an off leash dog area, and some pretty walking trails. There are multiple bathrooms and lots of picnic tables as well. We love it here! It is also free!

Lots of great memories here running xc for CHS. Many years ago. But it still looks the same.

Nice little ponds for catching bullfrogs right next to Willamette river.

Its actually a great park, my only complaint is there is no dock or way to secure a boat to shore. We love to put in at 10th street, then meet our canby relatives at Molalla state park. A simple floating dock would make that much safer.

Very nice and well maintained park. Many quack quacks.

Great place to paddle a kayak or canoe.

Had such a great time with the dogs. Good little hike and the pups had a blast.

Great place to get some sun and hike some trails. Two Rivers, its a great landing place for kayaking down the Molalla river!

Nice park, good fishing once you figure it out.

Relaxing and fun ride

Awesome place to walk along the river on a nice large trail. The perfect place to bring your dogs to run and play! Very spacious and quiet

Had a lot of fun playing along the riverbank here!

Walking trails does not show on the google map. It is confuses people to know how many miles they should go and take which road.

Great place to take your dog and let them go have fun and then have a picnic.

Has a lot of potential but only state park with no fee! Good for off leash dogs down at the bottom. Just ignore the signs as long as you have a nice doggie ;)

One of the best parks in the region. Large field for dogs to run off leash. Large picnic area with good bathrooms - running water and soap! Boat ramp, tons of parking, and several nice trails. And I havent even seen the whole thing! But for swimming, you do have to wander a ways into the woods and the trails that do go to the river arent for everyone.

Its a very nice, good sized place with lots of possibilities for activities.

Very nice park. Little hard to maneuver a wheeled walker or wheelchair, but doable. Lots of bees (Not honey bees) around the picnic areas. Had to run to the car.

Good place to bring your family for a picnic, play with the dog, or launch your kayak.

This is a great place to put in a kayak for a trip up the Willamette river. There is a good concrete ramp down to the water. The parking situation is not perfect but there is enough room for lots of vehicles if people park correctly. There is a public bathroom and picnic tables for lunch. The park is day use only.

The river was wet and the weather was sunny and dry you cant get much better than that

There was a beautiful reflection on the water. A car sat in the boat launch ramp bumping music and having a spirited conversation. I wandered around and snapped some pictures. Seems like a nice place to come for a walk. Picnic tables, plenty of parking and restrooms. All the ingredients for a state park.

Gorgeous day. Park has great trails for short minimal hikes.

Beautiful and peaceful. Great place to walk the dogs.

Wish they would improve the boat launch at this park!

Nice bank along the Willamette River for walking.

As always an amazing time at the river. Love spending time in the water and catching Bass with my son.The park is rather well maintained, and kept nice and clean too.

Great place for large gatherings and boating enthusiasts.

Its a beautiful park you can see 2 rivers merging

If its the Willamette River river then its great

Good place to take the dogs

Nice park, free parking

Got harassed by a a park offical for sitting on a fallen tree and said they would call the police, wouldnt recomend.

Quiet, great for off leash, parts very boggy though, as I found when suddenly in 10 inch deep mud lol. River runs through it, some great places to fly drones away from people, livestock and traffic too. Parking good, free entry, picnic tables and well signposted.

Basically a place to exercise dogs, picnic, walk around the park, and launch your watercraft. Fishing in the ponds seems highly undesirable in August, given the massive growth of beautiful lilie pads and all the felled trees and overgrown brush. Had our fill of ripe blackberries while walking the loop. Did not see any swim beach or good river access except the launch. No fee. Has large group picnic area (by reservation) and host.

Boaters blasting their music pollutes the serenity of natures beauty.

Excellent no-fence dog park and some good picnic spots. River views are limited but do exist in spots. Some paved trails and some unpaid trails that can get muddy in winter.

Very quiet and peaceful park

This is a great place to take the dogs off leash. Remember to pick up your poo though, because there was quite a bit in the picnic area. Also great easy hike down by the river.

Best dog park in the Portland area. Nice folks and seldom many people week days. Not bad on weekends either

Lovely park! Trails, picnic tables, wild flowers, ponds, Molalla River.

Great area for dogs and long walks.

Just loved it here... And the fact I did NOT step in any dog stuff made it more a plus... So many people out there dont care what their dog does...and it just makes it unpleasant for the rest of us.... This was a good day...

This is my favorite park . The people are wonderful. It has something for everyone. Keep up the good work!

Boat launch lots of room for pets

Great place for a walk and dog friendly!

Great large park. Boat ramp for water access. Lots of trails to walk with you dogs. Large off leash dog area. Just not fenced in.

Great place to relax!

Nice park. Can get crowded.

Ive been coming here since I was a teen and it really hasnt changed which is good, just wish there werent so many boats flying by while I was fishing, uncourtiess people.

A bit wet yet 2 -12

Ramps need to be worked on to provide easier access for boats and such to the water. I only go to get out on the water so Im not sure what more there is other than some picnic tables and a public restroom.

Its a good place to go and walk the dog, but the grass is always brown and theres a ton of bees always.

Its ok if you have a boat, otherwise dry and dusty

Amazing wildlife , eagles , sprays and more! Best dog park around . off leash friendly !

Very beautiful, great views :)
