Covering almost 600 acres of land, Fort Columbia State Park is another excellent recreational area for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers in the Vancouver area.
This beach isn't far from the Lewis and Clark National Historic Park too, so there's a lot of opportunities for outdoor activity in this region.
The park itself is home to various old military buildings that can be explored as well as many coastal trails and sandy spots to set up with a picnic and some good friends.
Families will have a lot of fun here due to the many beautiful trails and rich wildlife all around.
Fort Columbia State Park is also equipped with some good, clean facilities like restrooms and picnic tables.
