About Fort Columbia State Park

Fort Columbia State Park is the perfect place to relax a day from your daily job or even just take a weekend trip to the city of Columbia. The park celebrates Fort Columbia, a military site that formed the Columbia River.

The fort was completely occupied by the US Army and the United States Army Corps of Engineers during the Civil War. The area was also inhabited by Indian tribes such as the Comcomly Indians, the Columbia River Valley Indians and the Indians. In the late 19th and early 20th century, the fortress occupied a large area along the river and its tributaries.
