Welcome to
Wahkiakum County
Nestled between the wooded coastal mountains and the Lower Columbia River, you can find a classic American town that personifies the lifestyles of the Pacific Northwest. Walk the quaint downtown businesses, explore the many waterways or meander along nature trails surrounded by elk, deer and eagles in flight. Come join in one of our exciting events or enjoy a quiet weekend discovering the best of what rural Washington has to offer.
Dock, Launch, Explore and More!
We have two ports to serve the many needs of boaters, campers and sports enthusiasts. Watch the Kite Festival at Vista Park while camping in a yurt. Cozy up to the dock at the Elochoman Marina and wander through the Farmers Market. Sail or kayak the inlets on sunny days. Watch the cargo ships as they navigate the shore in Skamokawa. Whether you are fishing for salmon or roasting s’mores over a campfire, we have plenty of places for you relax.
