Warrenton

The Columbia River estuary defines the setting of Warrenton — tidal channels, wetlands and the nearby Pacific shoreline give this north Oregon community a low-lying, maritime character. Fort Stevens State Park occupies Warrenton’s western edge, preserving a former U.S. Army post that defended the river mouth from the Civil War era until 1947. On its beach, the rusting wreck of the Peter Iredale, a sailing vessel stranded in 1906, remains a distinctive coastal landmark. The town’s location links the working Columbia River estuary with Oregon’s oceanfront.
