Golf in East Cathlamet

East Cathlamet is a Wahkiakum County community adjacent to Cathlamet, the county seat on the Columbia River. Wahkiakum County is Washington's smallest county by population, and Cathlamet's position on the Columbia River's wide lower reach creates a small river community. The Columbia River's broad lower estuary and the surrounding Wahkiakum County timber and fishing landscape create the southwestern Washington river community setting for golf in one of the state's most rural counties. Washington's extraordinary geographic diversity — the rain-soaked western slopes, the Puget Sound waterways, the Cascade Range's volcanic peaks, and the sun-baked eastern plateau — creates community characters as varied as the landscape, and local golf reflects each region's specific natural and economic identity.
