The Clatskanie River was dredged last year, so visitors can also reach the park by sailboat. From the mouth of the Clatskanie River near Anderson Island in the Columbia River, head south about two miles until you reach the park. Canoeing - The Lewis and Clark Heritage Canoe Trail begins in City Park, winds through the Clatskanie River and explores the islands of the Lower Columbia. A seemingly endless network of sloughs offers a variety of paddling experiences for all skill levels. The building is now a national historic preservation site doubling as a senior center and a museum.
Tours are available, and a small fee is charged.
