The name Dismal Nitch pretty much sums up how the Corps felt for nearly a week along the Columbia River – so very close to their ultimate destination, the Pacific Ocean. William Clark wrote on November 10, 1805: “the wind rose from the N.W. and the waves became So high that we were compelled to return about 2 miles to a place we Could unload our Canoes, which we did in a Small nitch at the mouth of a Small run on a pile of drift log.” This same miserable weather forced the men to stay hunkered down for five days. It was here that Clark, for only the second time during the Expedition, feared for the safety of the men. “A feeling person would be distressed by our situation,” he wrote. Dismal Nitch, a High Potential Historic Site of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, is one of many sites to visit in the area of the mouth of the Columbia River. You’ll find it directly northwest of the Megler Rest Area on state highway 401. You’ll be awarded with great views of the Columbia, eagles and other birds, wildlife, and the impressive Astoria Bridge. Photo: Creative Commons
