kind & friendly, helpful fisherman

Salish Ponds—Fairview OR
It took several tries to find easy access to the accessible fishing at Salish Ponds. The best way is next to the elementary school east of the Reynolds School District offices at 1204 NE 201st, Fairview OR. Park east of the school not during school hours. There’s a gravel hill road with a gate that is rather difficult to manage in a wheelchair even with a helper, but there’s an easier path from the north end of the small parking lot that avoids the gate and is less of a hill. The concrete paved ramp to the concrete accessible fishing area is not far along the road past the gate. On the map it looks like further down that road is a floating pier, but I didn’t know about it at the time, so didn’t check it out. That’s the north side of the ponds. On the south side is another floating pier off NE Glisan St just west of Fairview Parkway. Turn into the parking lot of The Lodges at Lake Salish Apartments 20699 NE Glisan St. At the west end of the small parking lot is an access to the paved trail along the edge of the “lake”. Go east on that trail to find the floating fishing pier. It was a little steep for me to try without a helper at least for the first time but is another option for accessible fishing. No cost for parking. https://fairvieworegon.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Salish-Ponds-Wetland-Park-

Guess we didn't go far enough to the fishing pier; see map above.

Blue Lake Regional Park--Fairview OR
If you need to entertain little ones or big ones while your disabled friend/loved one fishes, Blue Lake is a great option. It’s a large park with many family and group friendly features. It does cost to park ($5/car is an inexpensive way to spend a day), but it’s a METRO park, so once a month it is free. To see photos and review, scroll down at

beautiful, accessible fishing--Commonwealth Lake Park, Beaverton OR

Commonwealth Lake Park, Beaverton OR
Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, this park had 3 great accessible fishing piers and flat paved trail around the lake, as well as a playground. The accessible restroom was a port-a-potty when we went. Early in the year the soccer field can be flooded. There’s an access and tiny bit of parking off SW Butner Rd near SW 126th Ave, and an access with a little street parking on SW Foothill Dr, no cost for parking. Part of the Tualitin Hills Park Recreation District which says, “stocked with trout annually by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.” For a review and photos, scroll down at

Progress Lake Park, Beaverton OR
Easy to miss as you whizz along SW Barrows Rd keeping up with traffic. Don’t go as far as SW Mallard Dr. which leads through a residential area with no access to the lake. Progress Ridge Town Square at SW Mallard Dr and SW Horizon Blvd is right next to the park. Tualitin Hills Park Recreation District says to park on the street rather than in the shopping area. That would mean between SW Horizon and SW Menlor Lane, which heads up a stiff enough hill that manual chair users might want a helper. The parks department said to park on that street, but that’s not a very good solution for a person in a wheelchair. Not far up that hill is the long and narrow, paved Barrows Powerline Trail, which is flat and has a couple play structures as well as picnic tables. Fun sidewalk art in the area.
Progress Lake itself is in a pit but has nicely paved ramping all the way down to a floating accessible fishing pier. For a review and photos, scroll down at

fishing off the boat ramp, Heritage Park, Lacamas Lake WA

floating fishing pier on Lacamas Lake from Lacamas Park across the road, Camas WA

Lacamas Park & Heritage Park (Lacamas Lake) Camas WA
As far as I can tell, the accessible fishing is at Heritage Park on Lacamas Lake. There’s a boat ramp and docks, and behind the small lodge is an access to the lake that has a ramp to a floating dock. Another option might be to fish off the bridge to the left as you enter Lacamas Park (across NE Everett St from Heritage Park). You might catch warm water fish like bass, bluegill, and perch. Trout are stocked yearly. Watch for signs of algal bloom. There are playgrounds, picnic tables & grills, restrooms, picnic shelter with water and electricity, interesting interpretive signs, and trails that are partly accessible. No parking fee. It’s a little tricky to get there, so if Google can’t find it for you, scroll down for more info, links, a review and photos at

accessible fishing pier at Horseshoe Lake, Woodland WA

Horseshoe Lake Park, Woodland WA
Woodland hosts a yearly kids’ fishing derby in April, ordinarily. The lake is stocked with trout and has warm water fishing year-round. Getting on the accessible fishing dock looked a little iffy when we checked it out. It’s a family friendly park with picnic tables, covered picnic area, playground, no-wake boating, restrooms, skateboard park. No parking fee. Photos, review, other links at

top center of photo is the accessible fishing pier, Lake Sacajawea, Longview WA

Lake Sacajawea Park, Longview WA
A wonderful family friendly park, with accessible fishing piers. The city hosts a kids’ fishing derby and other fun events in usual years. Rainbow & brown trout are stocked Jan-May, and rainbow broodstock are planted late winter. Warm water fishing year-round. Street parking free; handicapped parking by restrooms. Quiet neighborhood except hospital at east end.

Rivers and Streams

Rogue River OR
I wanted to try a guided fishing experience on the Rogue River in Southern Oregon. After contacting several guide companies, the one most flexible to work with me as a disabled person was Fishing the Rogue https://fishingtherogue.com/ . They were willing to do a half day, as I knew a full day would be too long for me. They were willing to pick us up from our hotel and return us, and to help me with transferring into and out of the boat. All these the guide did cheerfully. It was nice to have someone else take care of all the details, gear, rowing us into the best spots, and all. I enjoyed the trip down the river and the informative chats along the way. I was appreciative of the guide’s patience for and teaching us rank beginners. We were based in Shady Cove, OR, and there are nearby accessible fishing piers if a guide service is not in your projected plans. Perhaps some of the places have parking fees.

Cottage Grove & Creswell OR
I saw people fishing the Coast Fork Willamette River right in Cottage Grove, but there wasn’t a convenient place to pull over for a picture. It’s just a stream there, but a cutie. It was near Prospect Park (covered picnic place), along River Road. From the road it looked like a person in a wheelchair might be able to get close enough to cast in a line from the grassy bank, though I didn’t get out and try the terrain. At the Veterans Park/Oregon Trail site is some concrete next to the river with a railing, but I’m not sure if that would work for fishing. There’s plenty of fishing near Cottage Grove, but the nearest I could find mention of an accessible spot was about 10 miles south in Creswell OR. I think you can find free parking. Scroll down at

North Santiam River from the bridge between Mehama and Lyons OR; there's a barrier so pedestrians can fish from the bridge

fishing pier next to the bridge on 1st Ave, Mill City OR

North Santiam River OR
Hwy 22 from Salem to Detroit Lake
The bridge over the North Santiam River between Mehama and Lyons OR has a barrier to protect pedestrians fishing the river from the bridge. It looks like it would accommodate a wheelchair.

In Mill City, next to the 1st Ave bridge across the Santiam River I saw what looks like a new or renewed good-sized deck that I assume serves as an accessible fishing pier.

As recreational facilities recover from the 2020 wildfires, perhaps more ADA fishing will be developed along the Santiam River.

Tom McCall Waterfront Park, Portland OR

Tom McCall Waterfront Park, Portland OR
(Willamette River)
A great place to see the cherry blossoms about late March, and to walk or bike the approximately 1.5 mi long paved trail that runs right along the river so close that you can throw a fishing line over. The trail is wide enough to accommodate lots of people use, including picnicking. It’s very accessible, but you might need a helper to reel in your catch up over the barrier to falling in the river. I happened to meet the guy pictured with his fish above at Salish Ponds! It was great to chat a bit. He caught something big enough to break his line, and I had hoped to get a picture of him with a sturgeon! There’s a caution, “Don’t eat the fish.”
The waterfront park hosts several public events each year, has historic venues, the Japanese American Memorial, fountains for children to play in, others for drinking, restroom said to be accessible, grassy areas, a variety of restaurants within a half mile, and Portland’s Saturday Market is just across the street spring through Christmas. Chinatown/Old Town are only 2-3 blocks to the west at the north end, but you might have to make an L to get there on foot. The park is about a quarter mile walk from/to public transit (regional bus systems and MAX train}. Pay to park lots are within a half mile, but pretty expensive. The south end of the park is only 3-6 blocks from the center of Portland, and there are some very nice hotels bordering the south part of the park.

Rooster Rock State Park OR (Columbia River)
The website for this family & group oriented day use fee park says it has accessible fishing, but I didn’t find it in person or on the map. Further exploration required. More info, photos, review, and links: scroll down at

Steamboat Landing, Washougal WA (Columbia River)
Depending on the seasonal water level, the ramp down to the fishing pier on the river can be pretty steep; a helper is advised. It is steel grate, and signs warn of slippery sliding. The landing (no longer used for steamboats) is just off Hwy 14 on the north side of the Columbia. It has accessible restrooms, interpretive sign, views of the river, rather a rough sloping parking area not easily managed by manual wheelchairs, though there is a nice flat concrete disabled access to the ramp down to the fishing pier.

A nice little spot to picnic with a view, launch watercraft, or fish off the dock in Stevenson WA. There are more parks and paved trails along the river in Stevenson, as well as other things to do and see. Scroll down to Stevenson (et al) for more info, photos, reviews, and links:

The paved path from the parking is just wide enough for a wheelchair and ends rather abruptly; in Nov the water is quite a ways from the end of the path.

WDFW wheelchair Fishing Access,
Kalama River WA
Rather minimal facilities could be improved upon. The disabled parking place is paved, right next to the narrow paved path to access the river. When the water level is high it probably reaches the path. When it’s low, the river is past a cobble field. There’s a small vault toilet that was grossly lacking care when we were there. But if you are in a wheelchair and really want to fish the Kalama River, it’s at least something. The address is 1327 Kalama River Rd, Kalama WA—exit 32 off I-5. It’s easy to miss, so watch on the right as you travel east past Mahaffey’s campground. If you come to the Fallert Creek Fish Hatchery, you have gone too far. Fishing info:

Snake River at Oxbow OR, northeast of Baker City on Hwy 86
The bridge over the Snake River between Oregon and Idaho offers an opportunity to cast your line into the Snake River. Vehicles crossing the bridge are generally not traveling fast, but with limited space between the road and the railing, you'll want to be aware, and monitor any children in your group. We went night fishing for catfish. Copperfield Campground is right there, offering both camping and day use areas--no fee day use parking. We parked next to the bridge across from the campground for free. A little north of Oxbow is a boat launch, and there are other access points along the river on the Oregon and Idaho sides--not necessarily wheelchair accessible. The roads, however, can be intimidating for the timid--being narrow with steep sides.

Lakes

Diamond Lake and Toketee Lake OR
Not far from Crater Lake, Diamond Lake offers a lot of water fun, beside fishing. Accommodations include a resort as well as a National Forest Campground. John Williams’ “Accessible Adventures” has two superb videos that feature Diamond Lake:

Detroit Dam--pedestrians can fish off to the left of one-way road over the dam

Detroit Lake OR
take Hwy 22 from Salem OR
Detroit Dam holds back the waters of the Santiam River to create Detroit Lake. A road across the top of the dam provides for one-way vehicular traffic and has a barrier so pedestrians can throw a line over and fish the lake side. A person in a chair might find a helper useful, as the bulwark to keep you safe from falling in the lake is high enough to complicate the action of fishing.
A little further up the road is Detroit Lake State Recreation Area. It was still closed from the 2020 wildfire damage when I was there early April 2021, but their site shows a couple photos of their accessible fishing dock. Click on the “Tour Accessible Features” button at

John Williams’ excellent series “Accessible Adventures” has made a great little 5 min video about the area, including accessible fishing and swimming.

The community of Detroit OR was hard hit by the wildfires of 2021, but they are rebuilding, re-opening, recovering. See https://www.detroitlakeoregon.org/ Under “things to do” you can find fish species and a 3-day fishing derby generally held in May.

Trillium Lake near Mt Hood OR
The fishing pier is by the boat ramp, has a paved path. There are day use sites with picnic tables, porta potties, and trails, as well as camping sites. Some trails or parts thereof are wheelchair manageable, but I still recommend having an able-bodied helper.

Henry Hagg Lake: accessible fishing dock/pavillion on the left, beyond picnic table

Henry Hagg Lake/Scoggins Valley Park, OR
About 35 mi (44 min or so) west of Portland is a pleasant set of parks in which to recreate. Out of 7 parks around the lake (Scoggins Valley Park), the accessible fishing pier is in the C-Ramp Recreation Area. There are also boat ramps, for those who like to fish from a boat. Several areas have very nice picnic facilities, covered as well, accessible too, and restrooms—some wheelchair friendly and some not so much. Fee area ($7/car).

Estacada Lake (Milo McIver State Park), OR
Access Estacada Lake inside Milo McIver State Park. It has a wonderful accessible fishing pier that unfortunately is down a steep winding, though paved, path. For a manual wheelchair bring a helper. The park is lovely, with lots of family friendly amenities, and the drive to and fro through the countryside. There are accessible restrooms (the one by the fishing pier is a vault toilet), boat ramps for those that like to fish from a boat (as well as other water sports; you can rent some watercraft by the boat ramp), and stream fishing that requires maneuvering cobbles. A hatchery is within the park but was closed for COVID. Fee area (day use $5/car), accessible camping (including showers) can be reserved.

North Fork Reservoir/Promontory Park, OR
North Fork Reservoir has a concrete structure that would seem a good fishing dock, beside a boat ramp and accessible vault toilets. In the gravel parking area is a big sign with helpful maps to reconnoiter the area. There’s a tiny beach and swim area with wooden dock. This access to the Reservoir is about 7 miles south of the small town of Estacada, on Hwy 224. Free parking.
Promontory Park is a little further down the Hwy, and has more and nicer facilities—a little store, boat ramp, accessible fishing pier, picnic tables, fish cleaning facilities (if not restricted for COVID), camping, kid fishing and playground. Some free parking in the day use area. Watercraft rentals.

Benson Lake, Benson State Rec Area, OR
I-84, exit eastbound only
A day use area open year-round (except during COVID or at nature’s whims) with picnic tables, flush restrooms, swimming, interpretive exhibits; and disc golf. Only the fishing is listed as accessible. Fee required. 3-4-21 update: Finally open again, but clean up from storm damage still in process—lots of downed trees and limbs being cleared up. Cute stream and some snow patches. Two floating fishing platforms, one very accessible. Helpful sign about fish species to be caught and a little history about the park. A dirt road goes near enough to picnic tables & grills on somewhat mossy concrete pads to be accessible (maybe with help for some), if the road is not too muddy. There’s also a group pavilion. Restrooms were closed. Trains travel right by.

sign at dock says no fishing

Mayer Lake, Mayer State Park, OR-- exit 76 off I-84
Near The Dalles OR, Mayer State Park is said (on its website) to have accessible fishing, beside accessible picnicking, vault toilets, and boat ramp. Not shown as accessible are beach access, flush restrooms, swimming, and viewpoint. A day-use fee is charged. (3-5-21 update): accessible fishing is an error on the website. When you take exit 76 and cross the RR tracks to the right you’ll eventually reach the east end with quite a lot of parking--obviously very popular (see link below for more info). Turn left after you cross the RR tracks to reach Mid Mayer, which doesn’t have a sign saying so, but it’s where the boat launch and accessible vault toilet is. No fishing from the boat launch, the sign says. Picnic tables are on a stiff and rough hill for wheelchairs. West end didn't look too wheelchair friendly.

Sights from Sandy OR

3/30/2021

0 Comments

Sandy OR
https://www.ci.sandy.or.us/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy,_Oregon
   I was on my way to Trillium Lake near Mt. Hood to check the accessible fishing pier (I thought it appropriate for St. Patrick’s Day—you know, tri = 3), but as I knew the two small museums I wanted to check along the way close at 3 and 4, I determined to stop at them first, just in case. I was very glad I did! Both were closed from COVID restrictions (though the much more trafficked OMSI in Portland was reopening that weekend), I found when I went to The Sandy Historical Museum—though I had checked both websites. Thankfully, the gift shop was open at the Sandy Museum, where I could get good info & maps, and save a few miles of more frustration than pleasure. https://www.sandyhistory.com/
   Yet even the Historical Museum gift shop is worth seeing, with cool displays including a 3-D model of the Mt. Hood/Sandy River area (display too high to see as much as you’d like from a wheelchair, though), and lots of cool stuff to browse and buy from locals, naturals, and artists to support the museum. I loved the model log cabins for kids to assemble and the handsewn wares. They gave me the number of the ranger for Trillium Lake, who told me the trails were currently under 4’ of snow! He suggested checking again in a month.
   Plan B, C, & D: check out the city of Sandy as much as I could while I had the chance (a goal of mine in any case). Just west across the street from the museum is a quaintly paved plaza with small amphitheater called Centennial Square. It has a nice water feature of stone and cast fish, accessible restrooms, and a pleasant view of a lovely mural. There you can catch the Mt. Hood Express bus that runs between Gresham and Timberline (Mt. Hood), the Sandy Area Metro (SAM) around Sandy, and between Sandy, Gresham, & Estacada. https://www.ci.sandy.or.us/sites/default/files/fileattachments/economic_development/page/4651/2019_sam_full_brochure_pdf.pdf
   I happened on a woman selling elote (a Mexican dish: corn with hot sauce & mayo--delicious). Sandy OR is a small town of about 11,000 where you can still find a “family restaurant”, as well as contemporary foods from Thai and other Asian fare, to pizza, Mexican, cheesesteaks, brats, burgers, BBQ, and bakeries. A jewel of a find is the food truck court “Sandlandia World Cuisine” offering food from breakfast through suppertime, midtown right along Hwy 26 as you travel east. There’s food from India, Poke Bowls, gyros, cast iron cooking, beside those listed above. I finally decided to try Crepes Plus: the savory PNW (I presumed was for Pacific Northwest), a mixed berry crepe, and a peach smoothie. The guy warned me that the dessert crepes are very big, and he wasn’t kidding. When he also cautioned that because of the whipped cream it should be eaten right away. I quipped, “So you’re saying I should eat dessert first!” He was such a friendly guy that another customer and I kept quite a repartee going with him while he cooked for us. https://www.facebook.com/sandlandia/
   It looks like across the Hwy from the food court is the Mt Hood Farmers Market that will probably be open in summer, and you can make a day of it. https://mounthoodfarmersmarket.org/
   I took my dessert to eat at Meinig Memorial Park, which includes Fantasy Forest Playpark and the tiny wedge of a Veteran’s Memorial Square. The map shows parking behind City Hall off Pioneer Blvd (Hwy 26, aka Mt Hood Hwy), but most of it is only for City Hall between 8am-5pm Mon-Fri, and there’s a tiny parking area adjacent. But the best parking is off Meinig Ave a block west of the Sandy museum. This park has a really great, large play structure, tall timber shade, restrooms, a little brook, a log gazebo, an amphitheater, a stage, concession booth, picnic tables, hiking trails, shelters and deck. The park is in a ravine, so to speak, so not very handicapped accessible. Meinig Memorial and Centennial Square host Independence Day week celebrations each year. Info about Sandy City Parks https://www.ci.sandy.or.us/parksites
   Head north about 3 blocks on Meinig Ave to the Sandy skate and bike park to keep your young involved.
   While traveling the Columbia Gorge east on I-84, Hwy 14 (north side of the Columbia Gorge), and crossing the Columbia River on I-205, you get some awesome sights of Mt. Hood, but you can’t stop along the highway. So when I heard that there was a great prospect of Mt. Hood from Jonsrud Viewpoint, I was anxious to make up for the photos I couldn’t get getting to Sandy and elsewhere. Turn north on SE Bluff Road from Hwy 26, and head up the hill past the Middle School on the east, and the HS on the west, and keep going a bit ‘til you see the tiny one-way parallel parking area at the south end of the viewpoint. When I arrived, there were no spaces open, so I asked some guys if there was any other parking. Negative. But they were so friendly and said they were leaving, so I could have their spot. By the time I left about 5pm there were other spaces open. I arm-powered up the hill to find the amazing panorama of Mt. Hood and the Sandy River. There are some benches, informative interpretive signs, viewers (even one for color blindness). It’s really a WOW experience. I finished my dinner looking at a spectacular scene. The day before had been a more crisp blue sky, and of course my little phone camera and skills leave something to be desired, but to see it in person is really worth going. I hope you’ll get to go when it’s not crowded.
   Sandy OR is very aware of its history and its place in history, along the Oregon Trail. They have a brochure with a walking tour, but it would be rather strenuous in a manual wheelchair going east. At the corner of SE Bluff Rd (a major intersection) and Hwy 26, you can turn in to explore the intriguing Tollgate Inn touristy shops, restaurant, and bakery. Along with the western boomtown architecture, they have a covered wagon. https://www.visittollgate.com/
   Not far from Sandy is the Philip Foster Farm Historic Site on the Oregon Trail, a living history farm. We went some years ago when it was one of the choices for the Smithsonian Free Museum Day. But that was long before I started this blog, so there’s more to anticipate for another day!
