Frenchman Bar is a narrow strip of land created by Vancouver Lake and the Columbia River. This scenic bit of land has several parks and great views over both bodies of water.

Vancouver Lake is a large, shallow lake located near Vancouver, Washington. The lake is popular for kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and windsurfing due to its calm waters. The Vancouver Lake Regional Park is located on its western shore and provides amenities such as picnic areas, open fields, restrooms, and a sandy beach for relaxing. The park is a great spot for birdwatching, as the area is home to diverse waterfowl and other wildlife. While swimming is permitted, water quality can vary, and advisories are posted as needed.

Vancouver Lake's sparkling waters and raw shoreline offer a rustic nature experience just outside of the city.

Salmon Creek Regional Park and Pond lie at the east end of the paved Salmon Creek Greenway. Though located in an urban setting, the park has 35 acres of developed parkland and 368 acres of undeveloped green space, providing habitat for rabbits, deer, turtles, and beavers.

The 3.9-mile Salmon Creek Greenway has an asphalt surface and is open to biking, wheelchair access, horseback riding, walking, and running. The trail extends from Salmon Creek Park to the Felida Bridge at NW 36th Avenue. As the trail reaches the park, it winds around the softball fields and to Klineline Pond. The route offers a mix of tree-lined sections and scenic open areas, giving visitors a sense of being far from the city.

Turtle Ponds offers a tranquil escape with diverse wildlife along Salmon Creek's rushing waters.

The Old Mill Area is a great green space off the Banks-Vernonia Trail. It is an old industrial area that has been reclaimed by nature. There is an old mill building in the center, which has now been decorated with street art.

Banks-Vernonia State Trail is a 23-mile long multiuse trail that runs between the towns of Banks and Vernonia. The trail is popular with hikers and cyclists. This section of the trail meanders through beautiful dense wood and is perfect for a relaxed hike.
