Love this place. It is very relaxing and nice. I love looking out my living room windows at the Snake river! The management takes immaculate care of the park, and it shows. The paved trails along the river are amazing!

This is a beautiful and well kept park with covered picnic tables, bathroom, boat docks, historical marker for Lewis and Clark and beautiful trees and flowers everywhere. There's also walking paths and an RV dump station at the end of it.. it has some beautiful views of the Snake River and is close to the visitor center for more information about the area and historical details about the Lewis and Clark passing through..definitely recommend checking it out if you are in the area.

A well kept riverfront park that offers great vistas, manicured landscape, broad pathways, ample parking, boat dock and restrooms. A gem of a spot for a nice walk or picnic or just chilling out. Worth the visit.

Pound-for-pound, probably the best park in Clarkston. It has great walking paths, good foliage, kiosks are very informational, and the variety of vegetation in the explanations there ever quite informative.
