Clatsop State Forest is a woodland area in northwest Oregon featuring mixed timber stands, wetland zones, and several lakes throughout its territory. The landscape includes multiple hiking trails, campgrounds, and fishing spots scattered across the different sections.
The forest was established by the Oregon Department of Forestry to balance timber production with conservation of natural resources. Forestry management has shaped the territory's development since its creation.
Local Native American tribes utilized the forest's resources, establishing connections with the land through hunting, gathering, and material collection.
