0 North Fork Rd Washougal, WA 98671

Over 50 acres on the Washougal River in Skamania County, bordering State forestland, with over 1,500 feet of private river frontage, waterfalls and commercial timber in western redcedar, western hemlock and Douglas fir. Ground like this rarely comes to market. It gets handed down. The Chinook named this water Washougal, rushing water, and you hear why before you see it. The river cuts through andesite lava that cooled over 23 million years ago, carving sheer rock faces, waterfalls, polished rock races and deep swimming holes. Summer and winter steelhead, coho and coastal cutthroat run this river system. Elk, blacktail deer, black bear, bald eagle and osprey work the banks. Above the water, timber stands on both sides of N Fork Rd. A giant redwood anchors the property, planted by someone who meant to stay. Old Johnny's cabin remains from a bygone era of slinging steelhead from a fly rod. State forestland on the boundary means the woods keep going past your line. Multiple potential building sites and possible parcel divisions offer options for a private riverfront estate, legacy timber holding or land shared among generations. Hold it whole, build above the water or keep a piece for the next generation. Very few will ever hold title to a reach of river like this. About 25 minutes to Washougal, 45 to PDX, with Gifford Pinchot National Forest up the road.
