Please note that there are no lifeguards on duty and the shore line often has sudden drop-offs – 3 feet of water becomes 9 feet or more within a couple of steps (flood of 1996 played havoc with our beaches). The main beach area, Walton Beach, is accessed via Reeder Road and is about nine miles from the Sauvie Island Bridge.Nude beach users continue onto the non-nude North Unit Beach which is poorly delineated and ineffectively screened from view, which has led to a legal complaint by the property owners.It is administered by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in cooperation with the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office. It is surrounded by a 12,000-acre fish and game reserve, except for a 10-acre parcel of privately-owned land west of Reeder Road at the north boundary of Collins Beach.The beach has been popular for nude use since at least the 1970s.The beach is one mile long and begins about 0.25 miles after Reeder Road becomes gravel.

Stay on Reeder Road, passing Reeder Beach, a small RV park and marina, and a few farms. Continue to follow Reeder Road, which will become a bit narrower and rougher as it crosses into Columbia County.
Continue on Reeder Road after it intersects with Gillihan Road. Or, take Sauvie Island Road north from the store (turn left out of the store parking lot), and turn right onto Reeder Road a few miles up. You have two choices as to routes: One is to take Gillihan road, which runs from the general store underneath the bridge, and follow it for several miles to the intersection with Reeder Road, turning right onto Reeder Road. Warrior Point Beach is accessible by boat or a 3.5 mile hike from the end of Reeder Road. Walton Beach and Warrior Point Beach are located on the north side of the island in Columbia County. Travel along NW Reeder Road’s last few miles past the end of the pavement (approx 4 miles down the road from Reeder Beach). Reeder, North Unit, Walton, Collins and Warrior Point public beaches are located along the island’s north/east coast (Columbia River). Be sure to place this on your dash when you park at the beach.

Note: If you have not already purchased a daily or yearly parking permit, you will need to do so. The road is currently reduced to one lane and is being monitored to ensure it is safe to remain open.Ĭheck this link to Multnomah County webpage for updates: This created large sinkholes in the southbound lane. They carried a slow-moving section of Dairy Creek, and their collapse caused the embankment above them to fall in.
Two culverts under Reeder Road have partially collapsed.
