Captain William Clark Park
- Status
- Funded in 2003
Clark County will develop the only regional waterfront park on a twenty-three mile section of the Columbia River between west Vancouver and the Clark/Skamania County Line. Cottonwood Beach Regional Park encompasses 75 acres and includes 1.5 miles of shoreline and a ten acre sand beach. It is adjacent to Steamboat Landing, a two acre site that has docks for fishing, canoe/kayak access, and serves as the western trailhead for the 3.5-mile Lewis and Clark Regional Trail. Proposed development includes a swimming beach, picnic tables, trails, tent and RV campsites, dock, parking, signing, and restrooms. Improvements at Steamboat Landing include finger"" docks to enhance non-motorized boat access. Cottonwood Beach provides a spectacular setting for a regional waterfront park. It borders Steigerwald Lake Wildlife Refuge Reed Island State Park, and the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Over 250,000 people live in the heavily urbanized service area which includes the communities of Vancouver, Washougal and Camas.
Location
Drive east from downtown Vancouver on SR-14 about 15 miles to city of Washougal. Turn right on 32nd Street. Street ends at main entrance to park.
