Visiting With Your Dog at Astoria Riverwalk

Astoria Riverwalk offers an excellent destination for dog owners seeking waterfront recreation in Astoria. The park welcomes leashed dogs along its scenic route that spans the entire length of the Astoria riverfront.

The trail follows an abandoned railroad line for the first 1.5 miles, providing a flat, accessible path suitable for various activity levels. Most of the surface is tarmac, making it easy to walk or cycle. Some sections transition to wooden planks that may become slippery when wet. The route is not taxing, making it appropriate for dogs of different fitness levels.

Wildlife viewing is a significant draw for visitors. The area regularly features sea lions, river otters, pelicans, deer, and various bird species. The proximity to the ocean means marine life and birds are commonly spotted, and barking seals can often be heard and seen on piers.

The trail includes basic amenities such as benches and trash cans at the trailhead. Parking is available in town, which reviewers recommend over the limited unpaved parking at the trailhead, as narrow roads lead to that location.

Beyond the riverwalk itself, the surrounding area offers additional attractions. The Columbia River Maritime Museum sits along the route, and various restaurants and bars are within walking distance. Community events frequently occur nearby in town, providing additional reasons to explore the area with a canine companion.
