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.
