Reviews of Milo McIver State Park (Park)

Marc Sweet

I mean, come on guys. World Class Disc Golf, home of the Beaver State Fling, and many sub tournaments. Great property for everyone. Equestrians, Hikers, Swimming, Fishing, Rafting, Camping. All in a park outside Estacada. I easily get a value from the Oregon State Parks Pass. I feel like I ripped them off with how often I go to Milo. Seriously my cost this year would be about $300 for my 60 annual visits. I think I paid $40 for the pass. Value.

Jeremiah Williams

Easy to navigate, hiked and fished at Estacada lake, awesome views and nice walks

Mike Gant

Nice campground and you might be able to catch your dinner

Katlyn Search

Great spot to fish, play, and picnic. Quiet mornings are the best and you can't beat the view.

kimberly Jorden

The frisbee golf course is the best in town

luke billings

This was first experience there and I loved it. I played in a disc golf tournament. It's a fun challenging disc golf course. There is a beautiful river that runs around it that I seen lots of people tubing on. A local told me that you can put in on one side of the park and float the river around and get out on the other side it's about an hour float. Also there is a good amount of restroom / shower facilities in the park.

Chris Guiducci

Fantastic track with good maintenance and facilities.

Krystal Day

Always a great experience! Love this park

Jeremy Monroe

I go here for the world class disc golf course. This park is beautiful and great for camping or floating on the river as well. If you come to camp and play disc golf keep in mind that the campground is on the opposite side of the park as the course. Roughly 2 miles apart. It's a big park.

Nathan Williams

An absolutely beautifully maintained forest garden bubble, right along the river and separated from the real world by steep hills. Come get lost here while playing some of the best disc golf holes in Oregon, or just hike around and take in the countryside. It's a state park, so there is a fee, but it's well worth it.

Candice Ray

Gorgeous! Great little park for picnics, or gatherings, great access to the river, good hiking as well.

Timothy Freeburn

I love this state park. Just a short drive east of downtown Portland. Very accessible and beautiful. We regularly visit this park to play the excellent 27 holes of disc golf. It's amazing and right on the Sandy River. Lots of other fun stuff to do out here too!

Jenny Haugen

Gorgeous! Nice little area to run the dogs! Wasnt over crowded. Met some really nice people. Well kept! I cant wait to go again. Considering checking out the camping area! Short drive from portland!

tami McNaughton

Sonya Edwards

Michael Baker

Awesome place to camp or/and hike.

David Gibbons

I walked up within 10 feet of these deer while mom stood in the woods and watched. This park is huge and amazing. I wish I had a chunk of land to develop into my own park like this

refinish

As of 5/1/2019 the disc golf course is in perfect condition with the fairways mowed and the pins in the long positions. Enjoy!

Noah Margeson

Great camping spots with fishing and kayaking. Great place to just relax for a weekend.

Tiffiney Regan

Outdoor movies at the park! Good way to spend an evening.

James Strawn

One of my top 3 favorite disc golf courses. Epic!

Ralf Cunningham

Quiet Lots of trees. Wildlife. Beautiful location

Meghan Fielduvdreams

This park is so beautiful and there is so much space for activities!

Courtney Harmon

I would give it 5 stars except the price of $26/night for partial hookup (water & electric) since there's no grey/black dump at the site and I just really think for $26 to get that deep in the woods is crazy. Female park ranger and camp host Richard and Starr are amazing! All three made this stay the best!

Dima Litvin

Great park with immense natural beauty

Jennie Internicola

This place is marvelous with beautiful and kept trails. We opted for the river bend trail and enjoyed a mix of forest and open atmosphere. It’s quite a large park and with that we can’t wait to go back and explore the rest of the trails and the scenic views.

Alex Brookins

Only just started exploring this place, but we found the perfect little spot for the kiddos to play in the water on a hot day! Will definitely be back!!

Maria Castaneda

What a great place to camp! Beautiful area, lots to do in the park and in the area in general. We loved it!

Marisol Luna

Nice place to make barbeques with your family and swim at the lake. The only thing I didn't like was that they only have a restroom and have to make line to go in should have more restrooms since there is a lot of people coming and going. Other than that a beautiful environment.

Christine Powell

I love this park! Great spot to put in the water. They now have a spot to launch and take out kayaks. Lots of trails to walk. I did my engagement pictures here in the fall and they turned out great!

Anne Marie Synnott

Beautiful forest area with fishing, hiking, horse and bike trails. Fish hatchery to visit. Restrooms include showers that are kept clean. Each campsite has a fire pit and table. Fire wood to purchase for $5.00 a bundle. Cash only.

josh linhart

Great place to paddle.. but no shoreline to relax on

Dawn M.

Really cute spot near the bottom of the dog trail near the fish hatchery.

AV G

Really nice State Park with boat ramp and great bank fishing areas. Also has real nice campsites during the summer time remember to reserve ahead real peaceful minutes away from busy city life.

Melissa Jolley

Nice Park, beautiful location, small campground. They charge $2/person for the showers though - regardless if you have paid to camp or not. The bathrooms are in the same building with a couple stalls for entire campground

Judy Çrist

Love it there it's a beautiful place to go camping, horse back riding, fishing, and much more. You will also see wild life in it's glory.

Tammy Schrock

Beautiful park, Clackamas River is stunning and the off leash area for the dogs is awesome!

Jacklynn m

I had so much fun I never took any pictures! I love the shower options and it was very quiet. With a plethora of things to do close by.

Matt Bressler

Daily fee to go into the park. So much to do. Well worth the entry fee.

Keith Bornstein

Beautiful, and great river float spot.

Kyle Martin

Great park close to the metro area. The group sites are great and the kids enjoyed running around.

Cherie Girod

Milo MacGiver Park is phenomenal, only reason giving it three stars is because of a dangerous encounter with a male running the Horse trails! He literally came out of nowhere and rushed our horses, the horses had strong reactions, one did a 360 , another backed out of the runners way till he went down on his haunches, the other horse was just stunned! The runner was so less concerned about us and the horses, we had to tell him to stay where he was until we could get things calmed down, all he could do is complain that his RUN on the Horse trail was interrupted! He never asked if he could help, if anyone was hurt because I came off my horse into some soft grass luckily enough, but never made a move to even act concerned! His actions were totally inappropriate to the situation! He was very weird and spooky, he is about 5’10, black hair, medium completion, dressed in blue and white, with black sneakers on! He felt he had no responsibility in the whole situation! Now mind you earlier we had encountered bicycles, people with dogs, walkers, etc, all very nice and courteous and mindful of the horses and no negative reaction from the horses at all, but this guy bolts around out in front of us like a blur, and it turned dangerous! He would have heard us because we were talking and laughing very loudly and he was not wearing any ear buds! The whole encounter with this man was very unnerving and surreal! It seemed put upon in after thought!

alisha grezlik

Great little place. Nice in the off season, can walk around freely.

lynette nuttbrock

Great spot to drop your SUP or kayak for a few hours on the Estacada River.

Chris Anderson

Saw two eagles mate at this park. Very cool experience. If you spend time by the water you will see alot of wildlife

Dawn Lowe

Large park with lots of stuff to do. Plenty of hiking and horse trails, tiny lake for kayaking and fishing, decent campground, disc golf and several day use areas. It was however very crowded and noisy, I'm guessing due to its proximity to Portland so try to avoid weekends. Also the signage is not the greatest for the park in general and practically non-existent for the disc golf course!

Robert Welch

Enjoyed it and fun trails to walk and good views

Vintagefurnishapt

I love, love Mciver State Park. I have been riding horses here for 25 years. This review is for the trail system at the park. I was riding with some friends this week and a man came running around a blind corner (which there are many on …

g maher

Beautiful park! I would go there again just to relax. Not crowded, very peaceful.

Katherine Mayo-Sorensen

So many reasons to love this park! I haul my horses in to ride. There is a wonderful trail system for horses and hikers; bikes have there own trails in another area. Sometimes you can see deer, coyotes, and bunnies on the trails. The trails …

Brandon Skinner

I come here to kayak usually! Mellow class 2 Rapids with interesting playboat features. The biggest rapid is after the take out boat ramp, heading towards Feldheimer rd. The park also has an excellent disc golf course! If you like it hard!

Slater Steele

Great place to disc golf. Beautiful river.

T. Rick

one de hotspots in Oregon fer Sasquatch sightings/soundings

Michael Running

Awesome disc golf courses.

Collin Berry

Close to OC, it has amazing scenery and is not busy most of the time. Many great secluded trails to hike around with my dogs.

Scott S.

Great point to stick your kayak or raft into the river

Tony Watson

Nice place to stroll with a loved one, and my favorite place to launch on the lower Clackamas river.

Jon Sufficool

Campground is well-kept and very clean to boot, lots of trees, the bathroom I was in yesterday was well kept

Diane Clements

Nice camoground....we will be back.

Kimberlee Morris

Beautiful area, not many sandy areas to be found along the river by the day use area and not super easy to river access aside from the boat launch. Excellent spot for tubing!

Steven Marston

Great park to visit or go camping with the family. The sandy river is right there and you can also visit a small fish hatchery. Very fun place.

John Turner

Incredible Disc Golf Course. Amazingly fun to play for any skill level, beautiful holes, and awesome variety. Just wish it was easier to get to (from Portland area)

Immanuel Singleton

The disc golf here is amazing. It is a full sized course with long holes.

Alusivekarma 20

Beautiful park , very nice area with lots of hiking, biking and horse trails . Access to the Clackamas river with a boat launch and cool public fish hatchery .

Ann Moses

Love this park. Nice dog run, excellent hiking trails, kayaking at Estacada Lake. This park has it all. Oh yeah, disc golf for those who like that. Fun

Isai Zepeda

We rented out one of the picnic shelters, it had outlets and even a connection to charge a Electric wheelchair, running water and there was a restroom facility close by.

Karen Vaught-Alexander

Estacada Lake fishing there for disabled so much fun! Especially after stocking so check the schedule. Platform usually fairly busy but everyone is courteous and willing to move over for one more!

Eric sundquist

Can't say enough good things about this course. Plenty of course options and they're challenging, but not overly brutal.

David Wrench

Beautiful park and a disc golf course.

Andrew Eshleman

One of my favorite parks in the area! Tons of things to do like floating, frisbee, hiking, picnics and horse riding. Plus the fee is affordable! Park is massive and its layout allows for quiet spaces and privacy. Family friendly .

David O'Brien

One of the best disc golf courses I've ever played, just amazing. Challenging as hell while still being really fun for beginners, two tee pad positions at every hole allows you to pick your difficulty. Beautiful layout, lots of elevation change and hole variety set along the banks of the Clakamas river. World class

Jonathan Graham

Cool parks gin camping and biking. Also right on the Clackamas river.

Kimberly Midnight-RN

We floated in a 2 person raft from McIver to Barton, took 3 hours and we got soaked away the first set of rapids... so fun.

Nick Williams

Favorite park in Oregon! Great river access, good fishing opportunities good views! World class Disc Golf course!

Adam Henke

Best disc golf in this direction. Long open spots, tight wooded shots, and a lot in between. Totally worth the drive to toss a full 18. And the locals figured out a good way of doing it besides just running through the two nine-hole courses so that you end up back when you started without traversing all around.

Jones'n to fish fishing adventures

Best place to catch fish and also play disc golf , camping , trails . Boating and rafting .

Crista Cole

This park is HUGE.. Easy to get lost in but very beautiful.

Uncle Taxi

Great place for disc golf. Had to play the big layout due to driving 3 hours to get here.

Deedee Little-Glick

Nice park to begin all day float on the river.

Kris Lauer

Nice place to camp. Make new friends.

Aaron Hecht

Took a friend there for a tour. The trip reminded me just how big and beautiful the park is. Everything from frisbee golf to horseback riding.( horse not included ) Hiking trails, family and group picnic areas, scenic views, camping area with showers and river access. There is no excuse for not making this one of your local summer getaways

Derek Owen

This State Park is absolutely amazing. We played some Frisbee, did some hiking, had a picnic and showed the kids the dam. It was a great day and where was tired at the end of it so I would say or was a success. We will be back for disc golf and running with the kids this summer. This is a must visit for anyone that loves the outdoors. All the pics are from one great day.

Mark paul Lewis

Clean and quite..very nice place

Kristan Cross

Love to trail ride with the horses but wish the paths were not so graveled.

Free Demographics

A great place to camp or ride horses or bikes. Be prepared to deal with a bunch of hipster millennials though. And like any public service in Oregon be prepared to pay out the nose to utilize said service even though your paying taxes.

Sarah Wilson

Great place to take kids. Water is clean. It is a beautiful swim spot. Very peaceful.

Tyler Harper

A great park! Arrived later in the evening and was greeted by the park host who was very helpful, informative and friendly. We used a tent site that was cheap at $18. It was well sized and private with a picnic table and fire pit with …

Tsering Wangden

Went to River side day use area. Too many people by access area and not a large enough area to enjoy River. There may be other areas I didn't know about.

Tyler Mantia

Been going here since I was a kid. Great recreation and trout fishing.

Angela Roe

This is a drop in for rafts as well as inner tubes. There's lots of other cool things to do here. there are Creeks to climb through where you can walk in the water. There are hikes and viewpoints. You can even drop in on an inner tube at the top of the park and float down to a place to pull out at the bottom of the park.

Jim Peery

Very scenic, and a fantastic disc golf course

Alex Watson

Lots of great hiking trails. Campground is pretty nice too. Off leash dog area is great.

Joshua Betancourt

Great place to go to fish and picnic or start your float down river

Morgan Gilbert

One of my favorite state parks out there. Great views and trails.

John J Goertzen

Always a great place for camping and fishing on the Clackamas River

James Evans

Killer Park, oops maybe I should say horrible Park! Because if I tell everybody how good this place is there won't be anywhere for us to come and visit!... LOL

nuts and bolts photography

Joanie Griffin

Big, green with great floating and paddling!

Steven Hepler

This place is amazing! I love taking my dog here.

Dee Marie

Beautiful park. Beautiful river. Lots of space and really nice people in the area. Found crawdads and minnows :) my daughter loved that!! and also a fishing hook on the ground so please be careful.

Joel Turner

It's nice how close this campground is to Portland. It's also very family friendly. The sites are a little too close together for my liking but it is a shared camp area. It feels like a good choice if you're doing some group or family camping. There are quite a few trails that you can hop onto from the campground. We took a few along the river which was nice. There's a boat launch by the river there and kayak rentals as well.

Linda MilwGal

We enjoy camping here even tho it's closer to home. Sometimes we go just to walk around. The trees around the campsites are quite mature so privacy is good. Clean park and restrooms are always a plus. Disc golf is nice area but I wish they had a 3 hole practice area too.

Jason Barker

Huge park on the Clackamas river. Disc golf, horse and walking trails, camping, boat ramp with canoe launch. Just love going here before the kids get out of school for the relaxation.

Dave Liner

Home of the Beaver State Fling! Nice disc golf course famous for Philo's albatross.

Jessica Ackerman

Beautiful peaceful lots of parking and restrooms... also alot of spots for fishing a few good swimming holes. Camp grounds disk golf trails to walk and area for horses and round pin

Google User

Beautiful campground. Trees are crazy tall pines with moss all over the branches. Large sites. Clean bathrooms and showers. Electricity and water at sites. We used this as a base to hang out in Portland which was 40 minutes away. Great place.

Jean Ulysse

Dog friendly and the trails are very easy to navigate

Kyahn Daraee

Close to town but feels like you are out and away from it all

Ron Stevens

Absolutely gem of a park world-class disc golf course great camping hot showers a must-do

justin donnelly

Very large plenty of fun things to do

ron hamlet jr

Perfect. Dog off-leash area, hiking, disc-golf, horseback riding, canoe and birdwatching there is everything to do here!

Patrick Grady

So green and beautiful. Even under a cloudy, Misty, grey and cold day. Too bad the fish hatchery didn't have any ponds full, but we did visit when it was almost October. The park and fish hatchery are open every day.

Joshua Budd

Extremely large and decently priced !

Cory Jones

One of the most beautiful places on Earth. A disc golfers paradise in a magical and serene landscape.

Mark Stewart

Always well kept. Never seem to find overflowing trash or recycling. Always a beautiful park to visit and chuck some plastic.

Myrddin Wyllt

Gorgeous park with large campsites, lots of trails and things to see, and the hosts were incredibly nice.

Linda Michel

It has so much to do here and so many animals to see and get close too great fun for everyone

Kris Queen

Nice park, easy to find the shelter locations and restrooms close by. The roads are a bit bumpy, but nothing terrible in a small car.

Todd Traughber

Great for fishing and some "you know what" time with someone special...

Sharon Zenit

The doctor ordered me to take a vacation, to rest. So I went to McIver. It was perfect. Peaceful, serene. Sounds of cheerful birds and children. Walking trails and paths. Excellent facilities. And friendly staff. My stay there was just what the doctor ordered! ♡

deb bourne

Beautiful park. Went for Hollywood movie night. Thoroughly enjoyed our surroundings.

Jon Angell

This was my first time here and loved it!

Marsh Santoro

Camping rafting, swimming, disc golfing, horse trails. Day and overnight use. Kayak and paddle boat rentals. And the views playing by the river. What more could you ask for.

Jessica Dillon

Great place to enjoy a day with family

George Shepherd

kool place to chill bring your inner tube

joseph salsman

Great course, was fun to play and difficult

Cindy McCoy

One of my favorite equestrian trails. Test your skills on the various obstacles.

Jeffrey Young

Such a beautiful park with everything from disc golf, camping,horseback trails and alot of day use areas

Marcia Higgins

Our first trip to this campground and it was great. Small, quiet park, fishing within walking distance and clean. The volunteers do an excellent job and the Forest rangers are extremely helpful and friendly. We went in the middle of the week and the park wasn't full. Weekends are a different story

Scott Birrer

Great river access, hiking and frisbee golf!

Tony Woods

Tent camp here mid week. Nice easy hikes around the place and the bathrooms were clean.

Shelley Johnson

Lots of space, and variety. Massive dog park, impressive equine area with an excellent parking lot, water trough, outdoor arena, lunging pen, trails... I think there was even a bat trail?! Park rangers were very present, but discreet, perfectly private, and safe.

Isaac Miller

Busy place. Sweet bathroom (not plural). Cool for a quick getaway if you can swing it but otherwise just ok

Katie Hodgin

Love this place for camping, day trips, splash in the lake. Always clean and welcoming. Great for kids, family. Disc golf a hike, fishing it has it all!!!

Andrew Engert

Magical, and just far enough out of Portland to remain that way. If you don’t play Friday gold you probably don’t know of this gem, if you do you’re probably well aware.

Nikhil Shelke

Nice underrated state park in my opinion. Good if you want to hike in peace as this isn't one of the popular parks which attract huge crowds. Park at the viewpoint parking area and hike down to the Clackamas river East or West. Saturday well spent.

Mrs V

This park has it ALL. you can camp with beautiful sites, most with very close and clean bathrooms. The many waterway entrances are great. You can find a spot for anything. Swimming, fishing, boating. They have horse trails, disc golf and an amazing bat barn. We always have great fun here.

Logan Fairbanks

Beautiful park with two disc gold courses; a nine hole and 18 hole course. It also has capming and river access. Fun place for family and friends.

Alexander Aguilar

They had great grass. The bathrooms were large and clean.

Momma

Needs more bathrooms. No kayakers blocking boat ramps

Suzanne Morris

Everything good but not fond of Clackamas county parks as most the rangers are arrogant and rude!

Erica Wilson

Beautiful river! If your planning on floating from here to the first bridge remember it's about 7 hours on the river so bring your sunscreen!
