Embark on a voyage of discovery as you learn about the historical homelands of the Clatsop people, and the winter that Lewis and Clark spent in the area. This tour will take you to the must-see sights around Fort Clatsop, beginning at the visitor center and ending back in the parking lot.
History isn't the only focus of ours at Fort Clatsop, we also focus on taking care of the land and trying to help it regrow after events of the past. Luckily for us the Lewis and Clark journals tell us just what this land looked like back in the 1800's! This audio tour will take you to four stops on a 1.25 mile (one way) hike down the Netul River trail, starting from the Rain Garden at the Visitor Center and ending at Netul Landing.
