Lincoln Rock State Park, State park along Columbia River in Douglas County, United States.
Lincoln Rock State Park is a riverside park along the Columbia River in Douglas County, Washington State. It offers campsites, boat ramps, swimming areas, and picnic facilities spread along the water's edge.
The area took its current shape after the Rocky Reach Dam was built in the late 1950s, which raised the Columbia River level and created the flat shoreline the park sits on today. Washington State then developed the site to give the public access to the new waterfront.
The site serves as a gathering place for people seeking outdoor activities along this river corridor and experiencing the local natural environment firsthand. Visitors encounter a community of water enthusiasts and nature lovers using the facilities throughout the year.
Parking areas for vehicles and boat trailers are clearly marked near the ramps, so arriving with a boat is straightforward. Summer weekends draw large numbers of visitors, so coming early in the day gives you a better chance of finding space.
The park takes its name from a rock formation on the water whose silhouette is said to resemble the profile of Abraham Lincoln. The resemblance is visible from the shore and gives the place its name in a way that surprises many first-time visitors.
