Ridgefield

Ridgefield occupies a low ridge above the Columbia River floodplain in southwest Washington. The city borders Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, where wetlands, seasonal ponds and oak woodland support migratory birds travelling the Pacific Flyway. Within the refuge, the Cathlapotle Plankhouse is a full-scale reconstruction inspired by a Chinookan village documented at this site, connecting today’s trails with the Indigenous history of the lower Columbia.
