Beacon Rock State Park is a 4,650-acre year-round camping park with historic significance dating back hundreds of years. The park includes 9,500 feet of freshwater shoreline on the Columbia River in the legendary Columbia River gorge. Technical rock climbing: The South and Southeast faces of Beacon Rock are open for technical rock climbing. The Northwest corner offers a trail with railing that follows a safe zig-zag walking path. Beacon Rock is 848 feet (258 m) tall and is made of Andesite. On October 31, 1805, the Lewis and Clark Expedition arrived here and first measured tides on the river, indicating their long journey was nearing an end.
