Matson Park

This is a gorgeous Park very secluded fun to go with family and friends

It's a hidden gem, lots of shore line to gave some privacy and beauty day camp sites and a elegant camp grounds. Nicest in the country. All the parks are quite nice so this one is special

Good place to go play and float and rock hunt but there is virtually no shade so bring sun block! :) Also, beware of fishing hooks left all over the bank and nails from burned pallets and stuff 😑

Love coming down here with the kids. Just put the fire pit in for the world to make dinner. Easy to get to, clean, everybody keeps to themselves. Great spot, will always be back.

Great place to swim and spend the day. Rocky but large Beach area. There is a porta potty in the parking area. Dogs are allowed. Can watch jetboats come by several times per day.

Love this place! Nice place to pull off and enjoy the best of the rogue. I stop there and enjoy it often.

Nice swim spot. Plenty of parking. Very rocky. Water shoes of some sort are very helpful. Need to provide your own shade for sure.

Beautiful river front area...we saw a great blue heron as well as a fisherman while visiting later in the evening today

Great place to launch boat with 4 wheel drive

There are no facilities, but easy access to the river and a great spot to fish.

One of my favorite spots in the summer

I got married here in October 2021. Grew up fishing and swimming here as well. One outhouse, lots of sun, and river access. Great spot to watch the jet boat runs during Memorial weekend.

Great fishing and absolutely gorgeous scenic river....

We have a special place in our hearts for this place.. I won't tell you why, but it just feels good when were here. They have a single outhouse and tons of parking if you can drive through thick river rock. GREAT FISHING, BOAT LAUNCHING OR PICK UP, DAY USE AND PLAYING IN THE RIVER. If you like to hunt for cool rocks this is the place too. Really pretty.. BUT REMEMBER NO CAMPING, CLEAN UP YOUR MESS AND KEEP fires to a small modest flame and clean it up before leaving and all of us locals will let you visit again, but if it's to hard to clean up after yourself.. well then STAY THE HELL AWAY PLEASE.. THANKS

Great river access and private not too far from town eaither

Great spot to swim. But you better like rocks because there are a lot of them with no grass to speak of. The jet boats come flying around the bend here creating awesome little waves for the little ones, kids and dogs alike. This is a popular fishing spot as well so watch your 4 legged friends little paws for accidental dropped hooks. All in all very enjoyable.

This place is magical awesome for rock hounded

I love it here mainly to fish and rock hunt. There's Never to many people here. It's not the best place to swim with kids as the water is a little fast flowing for my liking as far as the kids go. Fantastic fishing spot both sides of the river! Fishing tends to get a little crowded at times.. Great views and during summer your likely to see the hellgate jet boats going down and back up the river daily for most of the day. Evening brings great sky views and wildlife. Great park!

Great place to take the kids for the day. Definitely bring something for shade or lots of sunscreen as there is not much natural shading. Fishing isn't as good has it has been at least for myself but I've had an off year so please try it out yourself.

Always a great spot to bring the family on a hot day. Water current and depth perfect for all ages and swimming experience. Great for Memorial Day boat races. Also great for the casual rock hounds!
