part of a park system starting in Long Beach WA and ending at Cannon
Beach OR. Many of the sites are run in conjunction with both Oregon
and Washington State Parks. All of the parks are seen on this website.
Fort Clatsop is 5 miles south of Astoria off US HWY 101. |

This
impressive sculpture is the centerpiece of the Fort Clatsop Visitor
Center. The Visitor Center covers the entire Corps of Discovery journey.
As with other centers, it emphasizes local events. The starry flounder
in the sculpture was discovered by Captain Clark at the Mckenzie Head
Camp on his trek north from Station Camp. Neither Lewis, Seaman, nor
the Clatsop Indian was there that evening. |
