4300 acres of trails and beach access. Plus a freshwater lake, the historic Peter Iredale shipwreck, and amazing views. Enjoy wildlife viewing, including herds of majestic elk. Plus, historical battlements sites, which were active from the civil war period through World War II. This beautiful place has it all!

The beach, hiking, historical military sites. The infamous shipwreck is also at Ft. Stevens.

ust twenty minutes’ drive to the west of the center you can find the stupendous scenery, nature, and historic sites of Fort Stevens State Park. Nestled at the north-westernmost tip of the state, it lies just across Youngs Bay from Downtown Astoria and has lots of great outdoor activities for you to enjoy. Built towards the end of the American Civil War, Fort Stevens, its batteries and bunkers were erected to guard the mouth of the Columbia River. Although not much now remains, visiting its museum is still an interesting affair as you see old uniforms and weapons and learn about the fort’s history.

This place offers all sorts of fun. For me, it is the closes access to the beach from Astoria. If you have a bike, there are tons of trails to explore.

Excellent place for biking with numerous bike paths. Also good beach combing. There are old military bunkers on the beach that are fun to explore.
