Across Youngs Bay from Astoria is Warrenton, a city of 4,500, about half the population of 10,000. Here you will find Fort Stevens State Park, which includes a museum with the history of the fort constructed during the Civil War. Visitors can explore abandoned gun batteries. Fort Stevens State Park is a wonderful place to spend some time with nature trails, miles of beach, lakes, boating, camping, swimming and more than nine miles of paved bicycle paths. Watch oceangoing ships anvigate the bar from the viewing platform at the South Jetty.
