Tips

The fort you can visit today is a already the second replica of the original Fort Clatsop that was built in 1805 as an encampment for the Corps of Discovery (the official name for the Lewis and Clark Expedition) to spend the winter. 33 men, a woman, a baby, and a dog stayed at the confluence of the Columbia River and today's Lewis and Clark River and prepared the return back to their starting point in St. Louis, Missouri.

Take a walk through the museum, bookstore and the nearby viewing platform at the Lewis and Clark River. A hike along the trails through the beautiful National Historical Park is highly recommended. Rangers at the visitor center will provide you with a map and additional information.
