McVay Rock State Recreation Site is a state park in the U.S. state of Oregon, administered by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.

The park was purchased from private owners at some point between 1970 and 1974.[2] It was named for the nearby McVay Rock, which was demolished for gravel and fill rock, and is now the site of a small housing development.[3]
