Access description: by Car, Boat - Drive from Portland to Hood River. Stay on I-84 and drive further east until you reach Martin Spring. Drive further towards Squally Point and before you reached the Tooley Lake, stop and park somewhere. No real parking and not easy access. You need to walk a long way over the rail road tracks and through a field of scattered, rusty barbed wires until you reach a small sandy beach. For exact location look out for kites from I-84.

Specific rules: Zones

Extra: Kiting or even parking at this spot has been banned. Too many people were parking here to go kiting so the railroad who owns the land has instated the ban. But you can still access with a boat.

Nightlife: No nightlife.

Accommodations: None
