Clatskanie is nestled among the forests at the foothills of the Coast Mountains where the Clatskanie River flows and empties into the Columbia River four miles north. The town was settled by Oregon Trail pioneers and built by farmers, fishers, and loggers. The town was named, like the river that runs through it, after the small Tlatskanai Native American tribe that used to inhabit the area.
Located in Columbia County about 60 miles northwest of Portland and 35 miles east of Astoria, the community offers a variety of hiking and walking trails, scenic waterfalls, and meandering waterways for kayakers. Other attractions include a castle museum, a cultural center with a theater, and a burgeoning arts community.
