Lewis And Clark National Historical Park

Fort Clatsop, 5 miles south of Astoria near US 101, has an exhibit depicting the log fort built by the Meriwether Lewis and William Clark expedition in 1805. Named for the Clatsops, a friendly local Native American tribe, the fort also has trails to the canoe landing and the spring used by the explorers as well as a 6-mile trail with optional loops to the ocean. The 1.5-mile Lewis and Clark River trail along the river starts at Netul Landing and ends at the fort.

A living-history program portraying the clothing, equipment and lifestyle of the expedition members, guided ranger hikes and a river canoe tour are presented by park staff during the summer. A visitor center has exhibits and audiovisual programs. Picnicking is permitted. Fort Clatsop Visitor Center and Fort Clatsop Replica open daily 9-6, mid-June through Labor Day; 9-5, rest of year.
