Where to go

Cowlitz County Lakes

Woodland is near some pretty spectacular lakes. Two of the largest are Lake Merwin and Yale Lake, both of which are popular spots to camp, hike, and swim.

The Columbia Gorge

Straddling the Columbia River, which divides Oregon and Washington, the Columbia Gorge is famous for its scenic outlooks and ample hiking opportunities. The Oregon side in particular is known for its waterfalls, including Multnomah Falls, one of the tallest year-round falls in the country.

Mount Saint Helens and Around

Known for its devastating eruption in 1980, Mount Saint Helens draws visitors interested in natural history and geology, as well as hiking enthusiasts. It's also home to the Ape Cave, the longest continuous lava tube in the lower 48.

When to go

It rarely gets too cold or too hot in Woodland, Washington, though it can get pretty rainy. Finding yourself in a downpour is possible even in the relatively dry summer months, whereas if you spend any significant amount of time in the area from mid-autumn through spring, rain is practically inevitable. If you are planning to camp, you’ll have the warmest, driest days and nights in July and August; June and September are close runners up.
