Description: Griffiths-Priday Ocean State Park is a 364 acre marine park with 8,316 feet of saltwater shoreline on the Pacific Ocean and 9,950 feet of freshwater shoreline on the Copalis River. The park extends from the beach through low dunes to the river, then north to the river's mouth. Due to weather and erosion, beach trails and landmarks are often transitory and writing directions is difficult. Bring a willingness to use the map and adapt to unforeseen changes in the landscape.
