Interesting History: The old Columbia River Highway used to pass over a trestle bridge on Fall Creek close to where the baseball dugout is today. Recreating the Columbia River Highway has pictures of remnants of the bridge and remaining segments of the old highway.
Fall Creek may have been used to power a mill and lower town theater in Clatskanie in the 1920s. More information and a fascinating historic relict can be seen at Aspen Fall’s blog post on Water and Wood.
