The original Fort Clatsop decayed in the wet climate of the region but was reconstructed in 1955 from sketches in the journals of William Clark and lasted for fifty years. The replica was severely damaged by fire, and a new, more rustic replica was built by about 700 volunteers in 2006. The site is currently operated by the National Park Service. The park also features an interpretive center and a network of trailsl. During the summer months there are park rangers stationed in the fort and at the trailheads who are costumed in period clothing and buckskin. Located at 92343 Fort Clatsop Road.
