Fort Vancouver was established in 1825 and operated as the administrative headquarters for the Hudson's Bay Company. Located on the north bank of the Columbia River, the fort became a collection point for furs being shipped to London. However, it wasn't just about furs! The fort also had a trade store, sawmill, grist mill, dairy and shops. There were also agricultual and livestock pursuits. Interestingly, Fort Vancouver was known as the "New York of the West".
Tour the reconstructed Fort. There are living history demonstrations in the kitchen, blacksmith shop, carpenter shop and bakehouse. My favorite tour is the Chief Factor's house.
Entrance fee is $5.00 for familes ($3 for an individual). These fees allows you to come and go for 7 days.
We usually take one hour to tour, but if you are a first-timer, plan on two hours.
There are a range of activities throughout the summer. Leave a Comment Address: Evergreen Blvd.

 Vancouver Lake Park: elevated
picnic table benches by glabah, 4 more photos
There are two really nice playgrounds as well.
One of the nice things about the park is that about 4 miles beyond the park, the highway comes to a sudden end, with no particular destinations between the park and the end of the road. This means that the park has no loud highways nearby, and except for people having fun it is a nice place to relax.
Birds frequent the park and surrounding wildlife refuge, and a number of nests are visible once the leaves fall off the trees.
A trail (hiking, bike and horseback) leads from here northward to the edge of the wildlife refuge and south and west to other parks.
On a clear day it is possible to see Mt. St. Helens and other interesting nearby features.
There is a toll booth at the entrance to the park, and it is necessary to pay to enter during busy times of the year. Leave a Comment Address: 6801 NW Lower River Road, Vancouver, WashingtonDirections: Follow signs to Port of Vancouver, and continue north on highway 501 until past the port facilities. At the 3-way intersection warning of a dead end road, go straight. The park entrance is on the right just after the junction.Website: http://www.co.clark.wa.us/parks/vancouverlake.html

 Waterfront Trail: McMenamins
Restaurant on Right by glabah, 4 more photos
The city of Vancouver claims the trail is 4 miles long, but it seems a lot shorter to me.
A new link called the Vancouver Land Bridge is now in service, which connects the western area of this trail along the river to Old Apple Tree Park and then crosses over highway 14 to Fort Vancouver. This link creates a vast walkable area free of conflict with any extremely high traffic roads.
There are several beaches along the trail, but they are small and probably of not much interest to those who are serious about beaches. However, despite their small size, this type of riverfront beach is what is available in the area. Thus, this is where people come.
Signs along the trail provide some local information and history.
During a really nice day, the parking lot for the park will be very crowded. Continue east on SE Columbia Way where there is parallel parking along the street near the condominium.
If you need an address to start at, try 100 Columbia St, Vancouver, WA 98660 Leave a Comment Address: SE Columbia Way, from I-5 eastwardDirections: From downtown Vancouver, go south on SE Columbia Street unit it hits the river. If you need an address to start at, try 100 Columbia St, Vancouver, WA 98660Website: http://www.ci.vancouver.wa.us/parks-recreation/parks_trails/trails/renaissance_trail.htm

This is a restored fort that was originally built by the British as a trading post. Many of the old buildings have been rebuilt and there are people there to demonstrate what life was like in the mid 19th century. Address: On the banks of the Columbia, near the I5 bridge.
