“The majestic Columbia River is the focal point of Crow Butte Park. This popular camping and recreational destination is nestled within mature shade trees on the 1,500-acre Crow Butte Island in Benton County. The island is situated along the Northwest Discovery Water Trail, traveled by explorers Lewis & Clark. The area is also adjacent to a portion of the McNary National Wildlife Refuge, where shorebirds, songbirds and migratory waterfowl congregate.
Crow Butte Park has six miles of shoreline, a marina, a spacious grassy park with a playground and a full-service campground. The park is a favorite of boaters, water sports enthusiasts, hikers, anglers and families coming to picnic or play in the water.”
The park located along Washington State Highway 14 at milepost marker 155. The site offers a year-round boat ramp, seasonal camping with pull-through and back-in, full hookup 50amp sites. There is a snack bar, playground, group pavilion, picnic shelters and tables, and restrooms with showers. There are also walking and bicycle paths and hiking friendly trails including interpretive signage.
