Scenic Lake Sacajawea
Picturesque Lake Sacajawea creates the northern border of Saint Helens and Cloney Park creates the western border. “Lake Sacajawea is really popular. Everybody walks their dogs and jogs – it’s always busy every time I drive by. It’s probably the biggest thing in Longview,” says Michelle Rohrbach, broker at John L. Scott Real Estate who specializes in southwest Washington. Here, residents can stop and smell the flowers while walking through the Frank Willis Arboretum and the Japanese garden. The lake contains trout and bass, and fishing is permitted year-round. Families can stop by Lake Sacajawea on select summer nights for free concerts and movie showings. On a typical day, bikers and picnickers may spot geese by the lake (and should keep an eye out for droppings). Cloney Park contains a BMX bike track, a skate park and a playground.
