Project Description:
|
This project allows safe access to a 65-foot waterfall referenced in the journals of both Patrick Gass and William Clark. It is 6 miles east of Fort Clatsop on Youngs River Falls Road. An old trail leads down from a parking area to a pebbled beach at the foot of the Falls. Interpretive panels have been installed and the site is included in a map of Lewis & Clark sites in Lower Columbia region. The trail is fairly steep, and wooden steps once in place are gone. There is room for parking approximately 10 cars, but needs to be graded and paved. Trail repair - $17,000. Parking lot and road paving - $40,000. |

The project area should be considered for inclusion as a part of an expanded Fort Clatsop National Memorial when Park expansion is approved by Congress, in order to provide protection to this documented L&C site. Project ranked 6 of 9 in Clatsop County. |
