Set on a forested hillside, Stub Stewart State Park offers a variety of camping opportunities and boundless trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding.

Enjoy a family gathering at Hilltop Day-use Area, where you can enjoy the grand westward view or set off to explore the trail system.

The park also boasts some of the best mountain bike trail riding in the state parks system, with 15 miles of trails for all skill level.

The paved 21-mile Banks-Vernonia State Trail also passes through the park and is popular for walking, biking and horseback riding.

Park trails connect to the Banks-Vernonia State Trail, or park at any of its six trailheads. Note: Trails are multi-use and shared by equestrians, mountain bikers and hikers.

A picnic shelter is available for groups and can be reserved. Your dog can romp freely in our off-leash pet area. Just east of Hilltop are two mountain-style disc golf courses.

The Dairy Creek Campground offers a typical camping experience with both full hook-up sites and non-hookup tent sites to choose from, each with fire ring and picnic table.

Opened in 2007. Named for OPRD’s number one supporter, Loran L. “Stub” Stewart, who served nearly 40 years on the State Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission. Hares Canyon Horse Camp is named for Joseph Coulson Hare, a long-time Washington County resident who served as a mayor of Hillsboro and operated a successful lumber business. The campgrounds were the first built by OPRD since Cape Blanco State Park’s campground opened in 1972. The park lands were acquired through exchanges with the Oregon Department of Forestry, Washington County, the Oregon Military Department, the Division of State Lands, the Oregon Department of Transportation, Longview Fibre Company and a private land owner.
