Narrative: Lewis and Clark River, Astoria Event Aug. 9th (or 10th) 2018 Narrative: We'll launch and return to Netul Landing—twice! Those who prefer a shorter trip can take out at our lunch break at Netul Landing after paddling downstream 2.5 miles and then back; others can continue upstream 2-3 miles after lunch for the second leg of the trip which will finish with another downstream run. The Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership Water Trail Trip Recommendations describes our trip this way: “Netul Landing is the heritage spot where The Corps of Discovery landed on December 7, 1805 to establish a winter encampment. Clark wrote, ‘this is certainly the most eligable Situation for our purposes.’ Now a part of the new Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, the landing features information kiosks, a bronze statue of Sacagawea, and a canoe/kayak boat launch into the Lewis and Clark River. A small waterway, with Saddle Mountain in the distance, it meanders north past woods and pastoral fields. Pilings, remnants of logging operations, jut from the water near shore. After about two miles downstream, the river widens considerably into the open waters of Young's Bay. Astoria and Smith Point are visible from the river's mouth. From the landing, a half-mile walking trail leads to Fort Clatsop.” Netul Landing is a 20 minute drive from the Event campground.
