Lewis & Clark Trail
Skamokawa Washington
Vista Park faces the Columbia River on the west end of Skamokawa, from WA HWY 4. The Corps passed here on November 7, 1805. They put in at a Wahkiakum village nearby and bartered for fish, wapato roots, 3 dogs [for food], and 2 otter skins. They gave up several fish hooks for these supplies. The natives would have considered it a good trade. They would use the hooks to troll for sturgeon.
