Lewis & Clark
About
Lewis & Clark is a 627-acre state park in southwest Washington, about 5.6 miles from the town of Winlock. Washington's state park agency manages the land, and the park holds one campground, making it a straightforward base for an overnight stay. Summer brings the most comfortable conditions. Typical July and August highs run around 79 to 81°F with lows near 50°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Toledo. Winters are cool, with typical highs in the mid-40s. Several short hikes start right around the park, including Black Bear Loop, Beaver Dam Loop and the Old Growth Forest Trail, all within half a mile. Paddlers can head about 6.4 miles to the Middle Fork Newaukum River for canoeing.
