A great Saturday afternoon hike through the woods and beaches of Kelly Point.The Willamette River flows into the Columbia River at this pointand you find a number of beaches to enjoy the sun.A paved trail around the point will take through native black cottonwood trees with a number of beach access points.The beach is great place to watch river traffic with great views toward Washington state and Sauvie Island.The park was crowded with hikers and families enjoying the beach.The bathrooms were open and you find a number of places to have a picnic.A nice place to spend the day on the beach or on trail.The park is located in the Rivergate Industrial area of Portland along a road that turns off Marine Drive.

Biked here from Marine Drive Parking lot boat launch area. Really nice place to hang out. Not too many people on such a nice day. Cool to see big ships go by

Come here to clear my mind, such a nice place

Great spot to see large ships and barges, beach area, big field, lots of picnic tables, decent fishing spots, good for biking/jogging

Very pretty. Peaceful. The confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers.

Wear some mosquito repellent when walking through the wooded area to the beach. But once on the sand, great beach to relax. Lots of people with their dogs always having fun. Would love to go exploring more in this huge park. Just get there early enough for parking on a busy summer weekend.

Great spot for a beach walk. You can also see large river and seagoing vessels fairly close up. You see where the Willamette and Columbia join, Sauvie Island, small craft, river clams and evidence of beach combing

First time here, it was great! Lots of space, parking may take a bit but youll definitely want to spend some time here.You can sit on the beach and watch the barges come in, sequester yourself at one of the many bench/BBQ/fire pit areas or a little of both!GET OUT BEFORE SUNSET; there be the mosquito.They come in hordes.So.. much... blood.

The roads are a little bit rough and hard to drive on however the park itself seemed to be fairly well maintained

Large riverfront park with sandy beaches, bathrooms and picnic tables. Off leash dogs and swimming are technically prohibited, but I have seen both many times

Theres good parking at this pretty large park. a lot of trail to be walked & a lot of beach too. yummy blackberries all over, little daisies in the grass. you can hang out in the sun, do some tanning while watching your brats play or chill out in the shade with your dog (who is allowed in the park, leash rule applies). the parks location seems a bit weird since you are in an industrial area but that wont matter once you get out to play!

Post Covid- Really sweet spot where the Willamette and Columbia rivers meet. There wonderful picnic spots and not alot of people. There are some nice fire spots right on the beach where you can watch the huge freight ships turn to dock in Portland.

Great spot to feel like you’re getting out of town without actually leaving town.

Its not very clean beaches there. But I did see one of our most beautiful birds there in fact a few of them. So that alone makes it worth it. I will also add that they keep a pretty clean bathroom.

KPP is just a great, local place to hang out and enjoy the sun. Bring your human or your four legged friends. All are welcome here.... except tigers (we have to draw the line somewhere).

2 stars because the beach is nice.. But everything before it is overrun. Trash everywhere, trails not maintained, just not a good park overall. Tons of other places nearby that are waaaay better.

Besides the large mosquitoes which are known to be a problem & will attack you relentlessly when walking towards the beach, great park. Still amazing so many mosquitoes there. On the sand, they die down. Great parking. I prefer this park.

Great place to cool off on a hot day but bring mosquito repellent.

Lots of parking space and walking trails. Great place to practice social distancing!

A unique spot because it marks the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette rivers. The sign explaining history of the Confluence is fading and needs replacement. A simple sign ibdicating the Confluence would also help.The bike/!walking trails need to be repaved because of tree roots making the surface jarringly uneven at times.

We to Kelly park be because it was nearby and it was close to sunset. Didnt have much expectations but it was very beautiful and my family and I had a great time walking around the forest and beach. Ended up spending a few hours enjoying the sand on the beach and the beautiful view. Definitely recommend going and checking it out.

Very nice pave walking trails along the rivers.

Nice short trails and river band walkarounds. Not recommend for water play, especially for young kids coz the water quality is concerning.

Nice place, lovely place, scenery, view, an open field. Only thing is just bring you some of spray when mosquitoes are out

Really nice spot! Hasnt been super packed the last couple times there, ample parking, good sun, sand and shade available.

Always enjoy time spent at kelly point! Weather it be playing Pokemon go or relaxing on the beach while the kids play in the sand or walking the trails and enjoying nature, this Park has become a place my family visits almost everyday

Nice city park at the confluence of the willamette and columbia rivers.

Awesome place with cool wild life. My friend and I made a awesome hidden tree fort. I dare you to find it.

Warning!Many mosquitoes at the end of June! It was killer! Still itching after a week! If you do go, cover up your arms and legs, and bring some bug spray! You will save yourself!Besides the mosquitoes, its a beautiful park and lovely views.

Good bike destination. Beautiful wild flowers in the spring and an apple tree in August.

Good place to swim with alot of cation its even better when you walking along the riverbank

Great way to beat the heat.

Was a good walk with my cat, friends, and their dog

Took a walk by the sandy shore of the Columbia river - nice experience!The shore is only a short walk from end point parking loop. Signs say “Do not enter the water”.Bring your beach chair or a pair of hammocks to setup by the shore and enjoy the sound of water or just watch a ship passing by.

A short trip to enjoy the sun and the river. Never too crowded.

Gorgeous view of the Willamette and the Columbia. Dog friendly, lots of picnic tables.

We were there at sunset and when the lights come on in the shipyards, its beautiful. Unfortunately there is a ton of litter. Great views.

Nice path..beautiful views..fairly clean except a couple homeless people

It was ok but to many damn mosquitos

Awesome place to bring a dog to and kids to watch the boats.

Not very well kept up. Lots of pathways and no maps. Easy to get lost.

Lots of stuff to do here: bird watching (woodpeckers!), stroll on paths (suitable for all abilities), gaze at the river, walk on the narrow sandy strip of beach, go fishing (sturgeon!), play frisbee or whatever on the sunny grass, have a picnic.

Nice little getaway from the industrial segments and play with dogs. There is a bathroom and a picnic table, but not much else for amenity. Mostly flat ground and be prepared to walk in the wet sand. Some noise pollution with low airplanes passing through, but otherwise nice reprieve from the city scape

City of Portland needs to spray for mosquitoes. Good Lord Ive never seen so many. Wear long sleeves or 100% DEET.

Went there for a walk for about an hour. The hiking path is about a mile, but theres two paths. You can go to the beach path or the forest path. I saw rabbits, people walking their dogs, fishermen, and the annoying parent who ignored all the no swimmings signs and let their kids swim in the beach area. I also saw a slice of chocolate cake which tells me that a wedding reception was probably held there the night before.Very nice place!

Beautiful area to get away from big crowds

Beautiful! Dog friendly, easy parking, somewhat private trails and beaches.

Gread walking, always something interesting on the river to see. Good crowd of people, seemingly 24 hour spot depending on how you like to enjoy a park. Not particularly a spot to take kids.

Theres a lot here if you dont expect much. Theres a beach theres trails. A big field. Its very much nature. At night if you arent on the beach then the mosquitos can be a bit wreckless.

Nice place to see rivers and walk on the beach. Easy access.

Beautiful beachy riverside, great hiking, lots of people gathering.

The park seems to have been left to grow wild. The roads and parking lot are pretty neat up. This is a nice location. I hope Parks & Rec. tries alot harder to keep is usable.

Sandy beaches and you can catch a fish the sun was really great that day too

Nice place to be on the water... bathrooms were open and clean.

Love this place, mostly because my dog loves it!

Its like if Trailer Park Boys and Jersey Shore had a kid, who was inconvenient to get to.

Great escape from the summer heat. Plenty of shade or sun, with beach on either side of the point. Restrooms available. The signs say no swimming but youll find plenty of people in the water, some in rafts and floaties. Just be careful - conditions can change quickly! Lots of picnic tables and open fields for lawn games in the middle of the park.

Pretty cool place but very crowded for that day. It was a Sunday and temp was around 100 degrees. Tones of peoples.

Nice park. Great for birding. Mosquitos at dusk are vicious! Dont recommend after 7pm

It was good but not a good place to be when it gets dark especially when youre out of gas

Beautiful views. Too many unleshed pet owners which can make an otherwise lovely walk/run a bit of an obstacle course. Short and flat well maintained path. 2 miles round trip.

Very peaceful place.

One of the best relatively low key river/beach spots in Portland. Even when its busy, theres endless shoreline to post up.

Nice place but a super long walk.

Beautiful, peaceful and the trail follows the river most of the time. Good parking and there are bathrooms. Enjoy!

Quiet and flat trail goes along the river, mostly a bunch of dog walkers using it. Nice views!

Would be 5 stars but mosquitos

The only park in Portland where you can actually get away from it all and enjoy bird-watching and the rustling of cottonwoods. A very romantic spot! Only downside: the loud airplanes flying overhead and the toxic water conditions.

Awesome place. Good for a few hours of exploring

Cool park. Took my family including a 2-month-old in a stroller for the first time. Used the pawed path for the stroller and took my older kid to the river breach area. Definitely coming back during a spring/summer season.

Lovely beaches, a lot of dogs, the river is quite nice.

Such a great place for a quick day at the beach! We take our dog and its shallow enough for her to swim easily. Bring a blanket and snacks and chill for the afternoon.

Awesome beach and park with lots of great picnic areas. Lots of parking but it fills fast in the summer!

Nice park for family fun.

Been going to this park for 30 years hasnt changed a bit still a great place to walk a Sandy Beach with your dog or kids any season

I really enjoyed a nature break not far from town. Beautiful wood and view on the 2 rivers

A little gem in a large industrial area. The paved trails need a lot of work and there is clearly a bad mole problem. A nice place to walk.

I like to come here from time to time its quiet an mimi loves it.

Cool place but millions of mosquitos

Great place to surround yourself in nature

Great place to walk the dog and take in the river views

Awesome for a nice walk close to Portland. Not really hiking. All flat. But nice trees and shady or sunny as you prefer.Swimming is NOT allowed and dangerous due to strong currents and a slice shore/ground under water. Great wide view. Even Mt St Helen is visible.

Favorite secret spot in Portland.

Great park, but the mosquitoes were atrocious!

Mosquitos were everywhere . The time we were there we were either smacking or scratching . Used to love going there but not doing it ever again !!! 1 star is too good for this place

The park is really messy parking is not well marked.

Kelly point parkb is an amazing place to hang where the Columbia River and Willamette River meets.Super fun watching the ships go by.

They need to have some kind of overflow parking just for the weekend. There was no place to park and everything was swamped when we visited. Couldnt even get down to the beach area through all the foot traffic.

Kelly Point Park is mostly natural, unimproved however it does have cleared, partially black topped paths. Right along the river where the Willamette river joins the Columbia it is wonderful any time of year.

Dig this big time*

Great place for a picnic!

Its one of the closest beaches to Portland, while the water is dangerous for swimming, its a great place to hang in the summer.

So fun to jump off the towers

We always love any chance we are able to visit this gem of a park. Had I not have gone there as a kid, I probably would have never known it was there. Its tucked away in the North industrial area so at first it may seem out of place. But once you go and visit for yourself, youll wonder why you didnt find out about it sooner. Beautiful grounds, trails and bike paths and a very diverse array of wild life. Love, love, love Kelley Point Park!

Well maintained-free range playing for ALL

I walked their was Cool You can see the Hyaundi shipment of Cars from Japan be Unloaded and a Beautiful River I think Sakagewea and Lewis and Clark sailed!! If You love to hunt scope a deer from The River Edge Green Camo Preffered but You Buddy Might Jus Scare people n get in Trouble

Great park.

My friends didnt like it because there were a lot of trees and not much space to sit but I enjoyed my time there and the trees made a pretty scene to me. There was a log stuck in the ground in the water that I liked sitting on and letting the waves wash over me. Pretty place in my opinion I would go back and take pics next time lol.

A nice place to take your mind off the stress of life

Great place to go have fun at night by yourself or with friends!
