We had a marvelous time exploring the various trails - some were out in the open, and others in the woodsy area. The oak trees are absolutely amazing - great descriptions are available to learn about the vegetation. We watched a heron trying to catch his dinner.
2. Ye Ol' Grog Distillery
Overall Ratings
5 based on 16 reviews
Ye Ol' Grog Distillery has been in business since 09-09-09 and producing their Ultra-Pure, Hand Crafted Distilled Spirits since 2011. We are located in the Ultra-Pure Liquor Distillation Capital of the known world, St Helens, Oregon. Sample sweet, smooth Grog, Unfiltered Vodkas and Spirited 16 proof Ice Cream as they should be, Good Tasting, Unpretentious and FUN! The foursome behind Ye Ol' Grog Distillery doesn't just make specialty spirits they also make the tools that make specialty spirits. Comprised of three engineers, the team designed two stills and installed the equipment to allow the magic to happen. This machinery not only helps churn out Hand Crafted Ice Cream and extremely smooth vodkas but two variations of Grog's namesake, an alcohol beloved by many throughout the world over the centuries.

We heard they were serving their boozy ice cream and made the trip over the hill to check it out. Of course we had to try (or re-try) the vodka and grog, but then on to the business of ice cream! The flavors were delicious...MoreThanks a Bunch for coming back and then writing a review about it. It really is much appreciated. llw

We stopped in to get out of the rain and explore the fabrics. The shop has a lot of panels and a lot of color options! There were many projects on the shelves for ideas, along with beautiful quilts on the walls. Prices were average for SWW quilt shops, just without the tax (yea!). I ended up not buying anything but the owner still printed me out a map to get back home - and avoid crossing the busy highway. Shop is on the right going south, so one must either cross the highways without a light or go the residential long way to get back north. I look forward to stopping by again and actually buying something as a thank-you.
4. Veterans Park

Reviewed By Kalamariverrat - Rainier, Oregon
The civic-minded residents of Columbia City, and the St. Helens VFW, have built and maintained this small tribute to veterans. It is just off US 30, halfway between Deer Island and St. Helens. It includes the Coast Guard among veterans, which is appropriate, since my father commanded a CG patrol boat on the Columbia River, not far from here, during WWII.
5. Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens

A lovely treat for your senses... Wonderful scents and hundreds of beautiful, photogenic lilacs! Lilac Lovers Heaven!
This garden contains many mature lilacs of different varieties and colors, all highly fragrant. It is an Historically protected site that also includes a vintage farmhouse, a small gift shop and several unique lilacs for sale. This property near Vancouver, WA ( NOT BC ) is well worth the 2 1/2 hour drive from Seattle, or 1 hour drive from Portland. It is just off I-5 in the small town of Woodland.
The $3 admission is quite a bargain, and it is a nice respite when traveling by car from Seattle to Portland. If you like gardens, this is not to be missed!
Visit only between mid to late April and mid May when the lilacs are in bloom.

In the summertime they have what is called 'Thirteen Nights On The River" on Thursday nights with bands playing and food vendors. It's great for the entire family.

Everything indicates you can come anytime in April. Well....on April 5, there were no flowers in bloom in the fields. The website didn't have anything to indicate that it was too early, but apparently it was. I love tulips and wanted to see fields full, but didn't get to do so. Maybe wait until mid-late April.
8. St. Helens Visitors Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 9 reviews
There are so many things to do and see in South Columbia county. Two popular movies have had scenes filmed here and there are plenty of historic, haunted and scenic attractions in this town and county. October is the busiest month of the entire year for us as we have a month long Halloween celebration, called the Spirit of Halloweentown. We are Halloweentown! Come on down and get all the info!
Reviewed By Ann T - Bury St. Edmunds, United Kingdom
The visitor centre is great and chronicles the eruption of Mt St Helens in an excellent way. The drive up is beautiful and the effect of the eruptions unfolds as the drive climbs the mountain. The scenery is dramatic yet beautiful. Absolutely fascinating if you are interested in volcanoes but a great place to visit for the landscape.
9. Ridgefield Kayaks
Overall Ratings
5 based on 8 reviews
Reviewed By globalcamera - Portland, Oregon
Located twenty minutes from Vancouver, Washington is a nice little village called Ridgefield. It's location on a waterway of the Columbia River gives it a quiet natural location for kayakers plus nature and bird watchers.
The Ridgefield Kayak rentals are easy going and have figured out how to help you in and out of a kayak successfully.

The best park in St. Helens. You will find a nice picnicking area, a playground structure, a World War I memorial, a gazebo, indoor restrooms, a BMX park, a very cool skateboarding bowl, baseball fields with concession stand, volleyball, a soccer field, walking trails, a camping area, and a beautiful creek that flows thru the park. In addition there is a very good Frisbee golf course that covers a large area.
