How to Get There

Overview

Lewis and Clark National Historical Park preserves the sites of the Corps of Discovery's winter of 1805-06 near the mouth of the Columbia, with the reconstructed Fort Clatsop as its centerpiece, and state park sites on the North Oregon Coast.

Highlights

  • Fort Clatsop: a replica of the expedition's log fort, with costumed rangers in summer
  • Fort Stevens State Park: 3,700 acres with the Civil War-era fort, the wreck of the Peter Iredale, and beaches
  • Ecola State Park: where the Corps hiked to see a beached whale in 1806
  • Sunset Beach: the end of the 6.5-mile Fort to Sea Trail
