Welcome to Hyas Point
Hyas Point is one of Southwest Washington’s most exciting new neighborhoods—a modern riverfront development along the Columbia River near the border of Camas and Washougal. Its name, derived from the Chinook Wawa word hyas (meaning “great” or “big”), reflects the project’s vision: a transformative community built around connection, nature, and design.
This mixed-use neighborhood is reimagining the local waterfront. Once an underused industrial area, Hyas Point is now being developed into a vibrant district with residential homes, public trails, open plazas, and small-scale shops and eateries. The result is a walkable, sustainable community that celebrates the river and the Pacific Northwest lifestyle.

Evenings often include sunset strolls by the river, neighborhood meet-ups in the plaza, or dinner at a local restaurant within walking distance.

Whether running daily errands or enjoying an evening out, residents enjoy all the convenience of two nearby town centers.
Things to Do and Entertainment
The Columbia River is the star of the show at Hyas Point. The area’s trails, public spaces, and planned parks create endless opportunities for recreation—walking, biking, kayaking, or simply taking in the views. The riverfront lifestyle defines the experience, inviting residents to make the outdoors part of their daily rhythm.
Community events, outdoor gatherings, and cultural programming are expected to follow as the development grows. In addition, the short distance to both downtown Camas and Washougal means easy access to local festivals, breweries, and entertainment venues.
Schools
Hyas Point falls within the Washougal and Camas school systems, offering access to some of the region’s top-rated public schools. Depending on the exact location, students may attend Gause Elementary, Jemtegaard Middle School, and Washougal High School—or nearby Camas schools known for strong academics and extracurriculars.
