Government Island State Recreation Area access (in the Columbia River northeast of Portland) is by boat only. There are two docks and a floating tie-up on the north side of the island. This makes it convenient to go boating on the lake. Water activities are permitted in the lake. These activities include swimming, water skiing, boating, and fishing. With 15 miles of shoreline and a free primitive campground, the park is popular with anglers. The beach gives visitors a place to relax and enjoy the views of this area in the summer. The interior of the island is still used as a cattle ranch and also contains protected natural areas. Entry to the interior is prohibited. Picnic areas are provided throughout the recreation area. Some of these picnic spots are able to be reserved for large groups. The Government Island State Recreation Area is open year - round.
