Waterfront community known for fishing and river views
Flavel gets its name after the historic Astoria family who tried to make the area a prominent port in the late 1800s. Though it has since been completely absorbed into Warrenton, its proximity to the Columbia Riverfront is still ever important. Waterfront parks and trails provide outdoor recreation with a view, while fishing is popular in the area. “There is the timber industry and the fishing industry out in that area,” says Linda Stephens, a real estate agent with AREA Properties, who has 42 years of experience in both Warrenton and Astoria. “There is a kaleidoscope of resources that brings buyers into the area.”

Waterfront hikes and fishing in the Columbia River
The 14.3-acre Eben H. Carruthers Memorial Park sits at the north end of the neighborhood and includes an off-leash area for dogs. In addition to parkgoers, other visitors include grazing elk, wading birds and otters drying off from the Columbia River. A section of the paved 4.7-mile Warrenton Waterfront Trail weaves along the riverbank through the forested park, offering views of the iconic Astoria-Megler Bridge and herons, elk, sea lions, river otters and eagles along its route.
About 2.5 miles west of Flavel, Fort Stevens National Park encompasses 4,300 acres of land, including 15 miles of trails, a Civil War-era fort, an underground World War II command center and a historic shipwreck on the park’s sandy beach. The park’s Coffenbury Lake is regularly restocked with rainbow trout and steelhead. Within the neighborhood, the Kampers West Kampground offers recreational vehicle parking and camping, as well as a fish cleaning station for those catching Chinook salmon, Pacific salmon and sturgeon in the surrounding waterways.
With access to the Columbia River and Tansy Creek, the community is at an increased risk of potential flooding.
