The Best Parks, Trails, and River Spots in Woodland, Wa

HORSESHOE LAKE PARK WOODLAND WA

Horseshoe Lake is a go-to for just about everything.

Horseshoe Lake Park is by far the most well-known park in Woodland.
Walking, relaxing, skating, biking, paddle boarding, fishing, kayaking.

Sporting an easily accessible boat launch, a huge playground, places for parties and reunions, paved loops, and a huge skate park with some wild trick spots.

Horseshoe hosts our favorite events; Planters day, Movies in the Park, and Winterfest.

There’s great shopping and food with a short walk. It’s the spot to be in town.

WHERE THE LOCALS GO

Whether you’re looking for a great place to walk, let the kids run around, or a good boat launch – Woodland has more outdoor spots than people expect.

Austin Point Park

Austin Point is a quieter, more tucked-away spot – Austin Point feels like a place locals stumble upon on accident and then keep coming back to. There’s sandy river beaches – great spot to cool off. The kids can run and play while you relax near the river.

And in this local’s personal opinion, it’s the best place to watch sunset in all of Woodland.

Goerig Park

Goerig Park is one of those local favorites parks – it’s boat launch to Lewis River is great for small boat, paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, and of course a solid fishing bank. Big Thanks to Northwest Steelheaders for maintaining this spot and donating the life jacket station.

Haapa Boat Launch

This popular fishing and river access area sits on North Fork Lewis River upstream from the Columbia. Due to depth, this boat launch can only handle smaller boats but boasts plenty of room and picnic tables for to hang while you set off!

Locals will tell you the river is the perfect temp to jump in for a swim while setting off on their paddleboards and kayaks.

Hikes Around Woodland

Forest trails, waterfalls, big views with Woodland as the easy place to start, stop, or settle in after.

Lewis River Falls Trail

Old-growth forest, moss, rushing water, and the kind of trail that feels made for a slow fall wander. Start in Woodland, grab food or coffee, then head up the Lewis River corridor for one of the area’s prettiest hikes.
Frasier Creek and Ridgeline Trail

A close-to-town forest hike with enough climbing to feel like you actually went somewhere. It’s an easy one to pair with breakfast or lunch in Woodland before heading east toward Yale.
Silver Star / Tarbell Trail Area

For bigger views and a more rugged day out, head southeast toward the Silver Star and Tarbell trail system. Woodland makes a convenient home base for grabbing supplies, eating before the hike, or coming back into town afterward.
