Kelley Point Park
Portland's third creepiest park compensates with majestic views where the Columbia and Williamette converge, plus driftwood to play with and ships to gawk at. Perhaps it's a boy thing.

Pros
- Short wooded trails.
- A stretch of beach (not malibu exactly, but it’s a beach), all piled high with driftwood.
- Great sweeping views where the Columbia and Williamette converge.
- Nice industrial backdrop, if you like that kind of thing, with huge container ships passing by. I, for one, was awestruck.
- Restrooms.
- Parking a-plenty.
Cons
- Mildly creepy, but ranks a good third on Portland’s creepiest parks list behind Kelley Butte and Elk Rock Island.
