Fort Columbia State Park

Distance: ~1 mile total

Fort Columbia was established in 1896 to provide defense for the mouth of the Columbia River, along with Fort Stevens and Fort Canby. Located on Chinook Point, the site covers a total of 593 acres and includes 12 original buildings constructed between 1896-1904. Most notably, the original army barracks. Several concrete bunkers still stand as well, with howitzers to boot.







Still standing over 100 years
