About Blue Lake Regional Park

Blue Lake Regional Park sits around a natural lake fed by underground springs, in Fairview near the Columbia River. Visitors can swim at a sandy beach, fish from the shore or an accessible pier, and paddle in small craft. The grounds include a spray ground, a natural discovery garden, playgrounds, sports courts and fields, and many picnic areas. Trails lead through wetlands and boardwalks to a monument honoring the Nichàqwli Village, a Chinook settlement. The park also has an 18-hole disc golf course across the road. Pets and drones are not allowed, and parking carries a fee.
