Columbia River Gorge Scenic Byway - Washington
Captain William Clark Park, WA

While they gathered provisions, Lewis and Clark camped near here for six days from March 31 – April 6, 1806, the longest time Lewis and Clark spent at one site in Clark County. From this campsite, William Clark also discovered the Willamette River when he led a group of men back down the Columbia. They had missed the river on both their outward and return voyages. The park has a mile-long sandy beach with a view of the rushing waters of Columbia River. A four-mile dike trail begins from this point and camping in the meadow is available in the summer.
