Rainier, Oregon

A quaint small town with beautiful views

 

Located just across the Columbia River from Longview, WA, Rainier is a small community offering beautiful views, wide-open spaces, and an active downtown.

The city website describes Rainier this way: This area shares a wide variety of history, including the ‘Lewis & Clark Trail’ and a view of our namesake Mount Rainier, and an impressive view of the northwest volcano, Mt. St Helens. The Columbia County frontage of the Columbia River offers some of the best Sturgeon Fishing year-round and is also perfect for camping and water recreations.
