Locals have enjoyed Cul-
laby Lake and Carnahan
county parks for years.
Tucked off U.S. Highway
101 just south of Warrenton,
the parks off er a large lake
for water sports and fi sh-
ing, a children’s swimming
area, picnic shelters, walk-
ing trails, a historic cabin
and a playground.
Cullaby Lake is main-
tained by park hosts Steph-
anie and Bill Murray. They
live on-site and help set
up the park for parties, sell
park passes and lock the
park gates at night. The cou-
ple has held the job for three
years.
“I live on 164 acres of
forest and beautiful scenery.
Can’t beat living here. This
park is a local hidden gem
… We feel really blessed to
be here,” Stephanie Murray
said.
Winter is quiet at the lake
but summer is “really busy,”
Stephanie Murray said. The
lake is no more than 9 feet
deep at its deepest, so it gets
warm in the summer.
“It’s a really good kaya-
king lake. People come out
and paddle board,” Steph-
anie Murray said. “We get
a lot of people water ski-
ing, boating, tubing and jet
skiing.”
The lake is also a good
bass fi shing lake and is
stocked annually in May
with 1,000 trout. There
are seasonal bass fi shing
tournaments.
Both the Gearhart and
Seaside fi re departments
train on jet skis at Cullaby
Lake. The U.S. Coast Guard
trains for helicopter water
rescues in October.
The park’s north and
south shelters get booked
throughout summer with
weddings, parties, reunions.
There are lawns, a play-
ground and roped off swim-
Luxury vinyl planks and tile.

ming area next to the north
shelter, and a sandy swim-
ming beach next to the south
shelter. In the last week-
end of June, the park hosted
hydroplane races.
“It’s awesome,” Steph-
anie Murray said. “It’s the
small hydroplane races. It’s
the only time we let camp-
ing here in the parking lot.”
Hiking trails
There are two hiking
trails along the park includ-
ing the long ridge trail
through the woods. Bear
and coyote sightings have
been reported there. Bald
eagles, osprey and blue her-
ons frequent the lake.
One of the trails has a
viewing platform near the
open marsh and also opens
up to an old paved road.
“The old Grand Prix
Race Track was along that
old asphalt road,” Stephanie
Murray said.
That’s not the only his-
tory of the park. A log home
built by Erik Lindgren in
the 1920s is on the park’s
property. On the day of their
annual clean up and picnic
in early June, several volun-
teers, guided by Greg Jacob,
with Lucien Swerdloff , help
clean the grounds as well as
the inside of the spacious
cabin, which has four side
rooms in addition to the
large main room. There is a
sauna and an outhouse.
Jacob, a retired English
professor from Portland
State University, and author
of the book “Fins, Finns and
Astoria,” is also president of
the local Finlandia Founda-
tion and helped to organize
the volunteers. Swerdloff ,
Professor of Historic Pres-
ervation at Clatsop Com-
munity College, sometimes
brings students to the cabin
to practice restoration.
Carnahan County Park
At the smaller, 30-acre
Carnahan County Park,
Liam Carson fi nds the dock
at Carnahan Park a good
place to kayak and fi sh.
“Fishing off the lake’s
always good,” he said. “I

catch lots of little perch,
blue gills, occasionally
trout, occasionally bass.”
He shared that the Car-
nahan Park is often less
crowded than the larger
Cullaby Lake Park. He said
there is a good hiking path
through the woods which
starts off the parking area.
Carson added that the
park is a great fi shing spot
for children, as there is a lot
of small fi sh. He described
the lake as “a good pan fi sh-
ing lake.”
“The park could be
improved by having some
life saving devices,” he
added.
Whether you enjoy fi sh-
ing, the splash and speed of
jet skis and watering skiing,
or the quiet of kayaks and
paddle boards, a refresh-
ing swim on a warm sum-
mer day, a forested hike,
or a sheltered place for a
gathering with family and
friends, Cullaby Lake and
Carnahan County Parks are
indeed hidden gems worth
exploring.
