22 ASTORIA-WARRENTON AREA VISITOR GUIDE 2023-2024 LEWIS AND CLARK NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK The Lewis and Clark National Historical Park offers several trails for visitors looking for a short walk or an allday outing. Hike the 6.5-mile (one-way) Fort to Sea Trail that offers a variety of terrain levels of difficulty. From Netul Landing, visitors can enjoy scenery on the 1-mile walk to the park’s visitor center or launch your kayak into the Lewis and Clark River. Trail maps are available on the park website. GNAT CREEK HATCHERY Gnat Creek Hatchery, 18 miles east of Astoria, offers three nature trails winding through the forest with views of Gnat Creek as it falls nearly 2,000 feet over several small waterfalls in just four short miles where it flows into the Columbia. WARRENTON TRAILS The Skipanon River Loop Trail offers abundant wildlife viewing along the levees and a peek into the commercial fishing fleet at the marina. The Warrenton Waterfront Trail is mostly-paved and follows both the Skipanon and Columbia Rivers from downtown Warrenton to the Hammond Marina. Your dog will also enjoy the off-leash dog area at Carruthers Park adjacent to the Trail. Shipwatching on the Columbia River. Photo: Joni Kabana
