Memaloose State Park, State park near The Dalles, United States.
The park extends along the Columbia River Gorge, featuring maple, willow, and cottonwood trees across its grassy meadows and hiking paths.
Native American tribes utilized the nearby Memaloose Island as a burial ground, placing their deceased on open pyres according to their traditions.
The name originates from Chinook Jargon, incorporating indigenous language elements that reference the burial practices on the adjacent island.
The campground contains 43 full-hookup sites and 66 tent spaces, equipped with flush toilets, hot showers, and an RV dump station.
Senator Victor Trevitt's granite monument stands on Memaloose Island, visible from the campground as the only non-indigenous burial on the sacred ground.
