Driving past this church for years as I entered the Long Beach Peninsula, I didn't realize it was a…read morewalking path filled with history about the Chinook Indian Nation. Part of the Lewis & Clark National History Trail, this location is close to Dismal Nitch (east side of the Astoria-Megler Bridge) where the Lewis & Clark expedition was trapped for six 'dismal' days before eventually crossing the Columbia River and building Fort Clatsop. They used this location as a survey point for Clark's detailed map of the mouth of the Columbia River. This park pays tribute to the original inhabitants, the Chinook. By the parking lot off Highway 101 you can walk to an elevated platform (ADA accessible) that begins with the history of the Chinook. As you follow the trail towards the church, the path loops around and follows their story through the present day. This location was originally the trading port for the tribe and with Europeans arriving to the area. Well maintained with some wear and tear (and minimal graffiti) on some of the placards, it was a nice roadside stop and had beautiful views of the bridge and Astoria on a clear day. The highlight for me were the replica Chinookan canoes. PLEASE NOTE that the map plot is not accurate and the park is just west of the Astoria-Megler Bridge before you enter the town of Chinook. Yelp has been notified.

Much like myself, you may have driven right by this little spot along the 101 multiple times and…read morewondered what it might be. Well I finally just pulled off to check it out and solve the mystery. Turns out it's a marker of sorts, filled with information about its history as a Chinook village and part of the Lewis and Clark trail. There's a path to follow with multiple story boards along the way documenting different facts concerning the area. Unfortunately, some of the boards are worn a lot and no longer really legible. But for the most part things are in tact. There are a handful of parking spots available (no restroom). The paths are maintained and the grounds flat. It should be easy for anyone to cover in a half hour or so, with nice views of the Columbia as you wander. While maybe not an epic stop, we found it worthwhile to stop and learn a bit while stretching the legs.

Funny how we can overlook the simplest of institutions, the local library…read more The Timberland Library system is very much a 'big library' in 'little library' clothing. They sport a huge number of branches across the peninsula. Their library card is easy to get - apply on line for most uses, go 'full bore' by presenting proof of local residence (since we just moved here, an insurance billing statement with local address and my WDL picture ID sufficed) DVD's, books, Kindle and e-books, magazines, computers, Wi-Fi and even a limited amount of free printing (which renews weekly)! I used the printer for some color Christmas letters, worked very well! Staff was friendly and helpful. COVID protocols observed. Parking adequate. Since it's small, its might be hard to find a quiet spot, and I think some of the less fortunate use it to charge their cell phones and use the wi-fi here. Check it out! (library pun intended)

Let's not forget The World's Longest Beach. Hence the town name. You can drive on the beach during certain times of the year. There's even an Elks Lodge here.
