About Brian Booth State Park

The park has two parts: the Ona Beach day-use and beach access area, and Beaver Creek State Natural Area a short drive east. A boat launch on North Beaver Creek Road, across Highway 101 from Ona Beach, serves a paddle of roughly three miles through the marshes and wetlands of the Beaver Creek estuary. The natural area has about five miles of trails. The park was first known as Ona Beach State Park and was renamed in 2013 to honor the first chairperson of the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission. The day-use area is open year round, though its restroom was closed as of January 2024.
