Decide when you would like to visit. Many parks are open year-round, presenting ample opportunity to enjoy the changing scenery. Summer is the best time if spending time in the water is important to you. Spring and fall are often warm enough for an enjoyable vacation. During the spring and winter, whale-watching is a popular activity at Shore Acres State Park. While many people wouldn’t enjoy a winter vacation, windsurfers find that the Columbia River is in prime condition during the winter months at Rooster Rock State Park.
