About the Park
For dogs that love water, the off-leash area at Rooster Rock State Park offers beach and river access along the Columbia River Gorge east of Portland. This is an unfenced, off-leash sandy area with water for splashing and a spot near the marina, so a reliable recall matters here since there is no perimeter fence. The sand surface and open water make it a natural fit for confident swimmers. Entry is free, and the park is open daily, generally in the morning-through-late-afternoon range, though posted hours can shift seasonally. The Gorge setting brings dramatic scenery and changeable weather. Check current hours and off-leash boundaries on-site, and keep an eye on the river's edge with dogs new to swimming.
