Knappa rewards everyday life with wide Columbia River horizons, forested backroads, and a pace that lets you hear the geese fly over at dusk. Set along US-30 east of Astoria and within easy reach of Warrenton and the beaches of Seaside, it offers a quiet base with quick access to jobs, dining, and coastal amenities across Clatsop County.
Outdoors, residents make the most of year-round recreation. Launch a kayak or fishing boat to chase salmon on the Columbia or explore the John Day’s calm channels. Trails and backroads in the working forests nearby invite hiking, gravel rides, wildlife viewing, and autumn mushrooming across the state-managed Clatsop State Forest. History buffs head to Lewis and Clark National Historical Park to walk through the story of the Corps of Discovery, while beachcombers and storm-watchers find endless shoreline just a short drive away.
Families value the tight-knit schools in the Knappa School District, home to Hilda Lahti Elementary and Knappa High School, where small class sizes, hands-on CTE offerings, and proud Logger athletics anchor community life. Weekends bring farm stands, youth sports, and river sunsets—plus festivals, museums, and college classes only minutes away in the region’s larger towns.
