Hazards

Big swell and swift current at a rocky State Park beach. A current forum report shows river flow can carry a stalled parawinger upwind and make return uncertain even in a 15–27 meter reading. Stay clear of boat launches, dock and swim area; use flotation and a conservative bailout plan.

Parking & access

Official State Parks: $10 one-day / $45 annual Discover Pass; $7 daily watercraft launch, summer 6:30 a.m.-dusk and winter 8 a.m.-dusk; overnight/camping rates vary: https://parks.wa.gov/find-parks/state-parks/maryhill-state-park

“Campground launch; Discover Pass and camping rules apply. Requested-field batch 07 verified 2026-08-01: current exact, nearby-camera, candidate and route relationships are explicit; unresolved items remain Unknown. A July 29, 2026 Progression Project forum first-session report documents parawing riding at Maryhill with the local meter reading roughly 15–27. The rider struggled to restart one double-skin model and was carried upwind by river current before recovering, while a same-size single-skin parawing started readily.”
