Fort Columbia State Park, Coastal defense park in Pacific County, United States.
Fort Columbia State Park extends across 593 acres along the Columbia River, featuring military structures, forest trails, and waterfront views of the estuary.
The fort protected the Columbia River mouth from 1896 to 1947, serving as an active military installation during three separate wars before becoming a state park.
The Commanding Officer's Historic House contains period furnishings and presents exhibits about the military families who lived at the fort complex.
The park requires a Discover Pass for vehicle access and offers 25 picnic tables, interpretive trails, and historic buildings available for overnight stays.
The site maintains 6,400 feet of Columbia River shoreline and preserves original military structures that demonstrate early 20th-century coastal defense systems.
