The park's namesake, Hat Rock, is a basalt formation that was created by volcanic activity millions of years ago and resembles a hat.
Hat Rock was one of the first landmarks noted by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805 as they traveled along the Columbia River.
The park's landscape is shaped by ancient lava flows from the Columbia River Basalt Group, which covered large parts of the Pacific Northwest.
Visitors can enjoy hiking, picnicking, and fishing in the park, with access to the nearby McNary Dam and Lake Wallula.
The park is one of several state parks in Oregon that provide access to the scenic beauty and recreational opportunities of the Columbia River Gorge.
