Castle Rock’s paved Riverfront Trail sticks close to the Cowlitz River and offers access to the now forested knoll that gives the town its name. The area became permanently settled by Euro-Americans in 1852 with the arrival of William and Eliza Huntington. The settlement rapidly developed as a river port and logging town and also became a stop on the transcontinental railroad, which was completed in 1869. Various interpretive signs along the paved trail tell of these episodes in Castle Rock’s history.
