Park at Corbett exit (you'll see where) then walk along highway to any good spot to climb down. Plenty of beach, lots of sand in-between the wing damns.
Cottonwood is probably easier overall, but Corbett is much closer to RR if you get blown out there.

Felt like Lewis and Clark except instead of canoeing down the Columbia we were trekking down I-84.

Yep, you hit signs before you get far enough up the trail to access the beach, I checked it out a couple of winters back  |
Thanks for the heads up... That sucks though. I was thinking that would be a really nice spot.

I'm pretty sure the owners of the property, don't own the sea wall which is where the trail is. And you always have rights to the high water mark.

| The walking and biking trail runs along the top of the dyke, after about a mile it was blocked by a wire fence and no trespassing signs. It was two winters ago i walked up there so things may have changed. Either way if anyone goes up and takes a look please post what you find. Water was high back then, right now you might be able to climb down to the sand and hike further east.

| and after that then you wouldn't be trespassing as long as you stay on the low water line?

| I don't think you can get to the beach by hiking below the high water line. However, just because it's fenced and marked "No Trespassing" doesn't necessarily mean you can't use the road. I've seen many a public road marked that way, wrongly, by the folks that have the lease on the grazing rights. I think the next step is to find out what public agency owns the land. I think it's a National Wildlife Refuge. Once we know who owns it for sure, we can investigate access. It's possible that it is private property, but it seems like that dike would have to be public property. Maybe not, but worth looking into.
