Wildlife viewing platforms on Clatsop Spit, overlooking Trestle Bay, and near Swash Lake are excellent places for birdwatching.Summertime programs include Junior Ranger activities, evening campfire presentations and guided bicycle tours.
Explore the Historic Military SiteAbandoned fort: The Fort Stevens Military Reservation guarded the mouth of the Columbia River from the Civil War through World War II. Today you can explore the abandoned gun batteries and climb to the commander’s station for a view of the Columbia River and South Jetty. Ask for a brochure describing the self-guided walking tour.Military museum: The Military Museum contains artifacts and interpretive displays depicting the history of the fort. Hours: 10 a.m.– 6 p.m. daily, June–September; 10 a.m.– 4 p.m. October–May.Guided tours: Summer visitors may enjoy guided tours of the unique underground Battery Mishler, and a tour in the back of a restored 1954 “deuce-and-a-half ” army truck. Group tours may be arranged by calling the Historic Area Military Museum at (503) 861-2000, 10 a.m.– 4 p.m., Monday–Friday. Allow two weeks’ notice. Tours, special events and museum services are courtesy of the Friends of Old Fort Stevens, a private, nonprofit group.Shipwreck remains: The rusting wreck of the “Peter Iredale” lies near the beach parking area. The English sailing ship ran aground during a storm in 1906.
