Dabney State Recreation Site features an excellent boat ramp serving rafters, kayakers, and floaters on the Sandy River, marking the western terminus of the National Wild and Scenic River designation.

The park offers scenic sandy beaches, picnic facilities, flush restrooms, and a popular 18-hole disc golf course, with day-use parking permits required.

Located on the Historic Columbia River Highway southeast of the Stark Street Bridge, the site provides good river access for both paddling and fishing activities, though visitors should be aware of swift currents and wear life jackets at all times.
