History meets Pacific Ocean in Astoria, a coastal city at the mouth of the Columbia known for its association with explorers Lewis and Clark as well as its own unique charms.
The trail circles Bull Prairie Lake, which is stocked annually with trout. The lake offers a number of places to fish from, including three floating docks and several benches.
Bull Prairie Campground is also located adjacent to the trail and offers potable water and a dump station for campers and RV’s. There are free day-use areas within, and around the campground. This is quite a beautiful spot to spend the day fishing, hiking or just relaxing in the sunshine under the tall pines.
This trail is open to foot traffic only. (Handicap Accessibility – Difficulty Level)
