Review:
Situated in the scenic region of Washougal, the Captain William Clark Park at Cottonwood Beach is a public park that commemorates the historical site where the Corps of Discovery camped for six days in 1806. Located on the Washington side of the Columbia River at River Mile on Cottonwood Beach, the 85-acre park features a network of walking and hiking trails with informational signs and maps, restrooms, covered cooking areas, and picnic spots.
Interpretive elements are scattered throughout the park, allowing visitors to gain a deeper appreciation of the history of the park where Meriwether Lewis and William Clark established a camp more than 200 years ago. A recognition plaza showcases the history of the park with replicas of Lewis and Clark's dugout canoes and Chinookan canoes. A two-mile long trail runs above the beach and offers a scenic stretch for hiking, jogging, biking, and horseback riding.
