Our favorite park
It is one of the best kept secrets of the NW. The grounds are well kept and the shade from all the trees just make it one beautiful place. We make it a point to spend a couple of weeks a year. Thanks

We go several times a year
Love it here - if you like hot, sunny and windy this place is for you! Grass eveywhere. Columbia River is right there. Truck traffic and trains can be loud but you quickly forget about it.

Weekend Chaos
Maryhill is a very nice park. Serious lack of enforcement of rules on weekend in day use and boat launch. Chaos is an understatement, people park, swim, fish from boat launch.

| History of the Area: |
| Maryhill State Park was acquired by lease from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1972 at no cost. Sam Hill, considered a local eccentric, built a "castle" for his daughter, Mary, on a hill, and named it "Maryhill." He designated the beautiful building, originally designed as a family home, as an art museum before the end of its construction. Mr. Hill built a full-scale partial replica of England's famous Stonehenge one mile from the state park. He also tried unsuccessfully to establish a Quaker colony in the community in the years preceding World War II. Both Stonehenge and the Maryhill Museum of Art are open to the public. |
