Steelhead Beach Regional Park offers year-round beach access for paddling (canoes, kayaks, paddleboards) and seasonal boat launch facilities (October through mid-May) for larger craft requiring an annual permit ($45 recreational/$75 commercial).

The park features parking ($8 fall/winter/spring, $12 summer), restrooms, picnic areas, and short riverside trails, though parking fills quickly on summer weekends and the sandy/gravel beach makes water access challenging for those with mobility limitations.

Fishing and birding are popular year-round activities, with free loaner life vests available during summer months.
