Naked! Naked! Naked! That got your attention I'm sure! Check out the Captain William Clark Park at Cottonwood Beach in Washougal, WA in Clark County. Been there??

It has an old name given by locals many years ago..."Bare A-- Beach." That drums up curosity! Now think what you will about that name, I do not know if people actually ever swam or appeared naked on that beach. Maybe it was Lewis and Clark that gave it that name! (Just kidding!)

But, nonetheless...it is a beautiful park and beach area. It is preceded by a flood dike that many, many people like to walk. (The Washougal Humane Society is nearby...you can sign up to volunteer and walk dogs from there along this scenic area.) O.k., got off track there. There are woods, beach, trails and the mighty Columbia river to play in. You can swim, wade, hike, enjoy the picnic sites, sand volleyball courts, and you can also camp there if you make a reservation. (Phone: 360-619-1111) The park is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and there are no park fees.

Cottonwood Beach is a 75-acre park and includes 3.1 miles of easy trails. You can see spectacular views of natural wildlife, (referring to the animal kind, not human) the Columbia river and Mount Hood.

On March 31, 1806, Lewis and Clark camped at our very own Cottonwood Beach area for six nights and days. I imagine they fished and gathered supplies there for the rest of their journey.

There are some surprises for people who visit this area. Come take a look at a historic place and reflect on a walk back in time.  Here's a link to check out the history of this beach for yourself:
