	Skipanon Watershed Project \| Washington NRCS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A PL-566 project was constructed on the Skipanon River during the period 1962 – 1967.
		The project consisted of channel improvements, the installation of a tidegates near the mouth of the river, and two upstream water control structures (the first at the outlet of Cullaby Lake and second about one mile downstream from the lake).
		The purpose of the tidegates were to mitigate tidal influenced flooding in the lower Skipanon River while the purpose of the upper structures were to maintain water levels in the lake for recreational purposes and prevent subsidence of peat soils in the floodplain.

	A Lasting Legacy Part III
		Umatilla Landing was established at the mouth of the river in 1863, an important steamboat landing on the Columbia for mines in Oregon and Idaho.
		The river was unmarked on the route map and was first referred to as "a branch of the Wallahwallah river" in the journals.
		The course of the river was followed by the corps on their cross-country shortcut to the "Kooskooski River"; they named it "Wh(ite) Stallion River" when they reached a fork in the drainage.

	Fort To Sea Trail
		Lewis and Clark River: The stream where Fort Clatsop is located was called the Netul River by Lewis and Clark, which may have been a place on the riverbank rather than the river's name.
		The southern portion of the creek drains Neacoxie Lake and flows south to the Necanicum River estuary.
		Skipanon River: The Clatsop Indians used the word Skippernauwin to refer to a point at the mouth of the river, but not the river itself.

	Fort Clatsop NMem: Lewis and Clark Trail from Fort Clatsop to the Clatsop Plains
		In particular, a descent was made to the bottom of the canyon of the unnamed easternmost branch of the Skipanon River, along the north bank of which Clark traveled for about 1/2 mile.
		From the south edge of the road down into the canyon of the easternmost branch of the Skipanon River, the steep slope is covered by a magnificent hemlock forest with a dense undergrowth of fern, huckleberry, salal, and other shrubs.
		In fact, the entire canyon of this branch of the Skipanon River apparently looks much the same now as it did when it was traversed by Clark and his companions in December of 1805.

	Buoy 10 Salmon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Almost exactly opposite Hammond on the Washington side of the river, this area is marked by a large gray church steeple.
		One key to finding fish along this piece of river is to make a couple of passes at one depth, both with and against the current, and then move to deeper or shallower water for another few passes.
		On the Oregon side of the river, the 50-foot line that parallels the river bank from just upstream of Hammond to the mouth of the Skipanon River will produce fish on a regular basis.

	Seaside's Historic Past (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Necanicum River, draining the south Clatsop region, nurtured groves of fir, spruce and pine, a rich groundcover including salal, kinnikinnik, wapato and camass, interspersed with meadows and berry thickets.
		Although the discovery and settlement of the Columbia River ultimately scattered and decimated the Native Americans, they are ingrained in the region's development.
		The river was first sited in 1775 by the Spanish navigator Bruno de Hezeta (aka Heceta) who mistook the estuary for an inland bay, although its seething currents reminded him that "it may be the mouth of some great river or some passage to another sea." He did not attempt to enter.

		Some came down the Columbia to a landing point on the Skipanon River, near Astoria, where they were met by beautifully equipped stage coaches for the last leg of their journey.
		Sharp declivities, now denuded of spruce, cedar, and hemlock, indicate the site of former high-line logging, which is characterized by the network of cables, blocks, and guy lines strung from spars (trees denuded of limbs), along which logs are pulled by donkey engines from one ridge to the other.
		Grazing in meadows yellow with buttercups are the cows that produce milk for the cheese kitchens, where cream cheese is made and placed in long rows of shelves in the cooling rooms to mellow.

	Fort Clatsop NMem: Lewis and Clark Trail from Fort Clatsop to the Clatsop Plains
		Crossing the eastern branch of the north-flowing Skipanon River just below this junction, Clark continued west over a low ridge to the main branch of the Skipanon River, which evidently was his "low marshey bottom which we crossed thro water and thick brush." [10]
		After leaving the Skipanon River Clark continued west ward across a prairie for about 1/2 mile to the present Neacoxie Creek, which at the point Clark encountered it runs north.
		On the other hand, the eastern section of double track, stretching from the junction of the two forks of the eastern branch of the Skipanon River eastward to the slope of the ridge leading down to Fort Clatsop, is important to this study.

		The plant discharges wastewater into the Skipanon River, a tributary of the Lower Columbia River.
		"Wastewater from this facility is causing dissolved oxygen levels in the Skipanon River to fall close to zero," said NELC attorney Howard Hirsch.
		Pacific Seafood's facility causes severe impacts on dissolved oxygen levels in the Skipanon River because its wastewater—water used to wash away unwanted parts of fish and then discharged into the river—is loaded with organic matter.

		Some of the visitors came down the Columbia to a landing point on the Skipanon River, near Astoria, where they were met by luxuriously appointed stage coaches for the last leg of their journey.
		Five days later all of Clatsop County north of the Columbia River was used to create Vancouver County, in what is now Washington.
		The county currently occupies an area of 873 square miles and is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by the Columbia River, on the east by Columbia County, and on the south by Tillamook County.

		Chinooks settling on the south side of the river were known as Clatsops and at least 15 of their villages spread from Tongue Point and Knappa, in the north, to Tillamook Head (45° 57' 54"), south of Seaside.
		Warrenton near the mouth of the river was platted by its proprietor in 1889 and the development of the community immediately began around Warrenton, with the result that Skipanon ceased to be of equal importance.
		Public access to the beach at the mouth of the river was secured in 1969 when the Oregon State Parks Department purchased four acres along the south bank of the river, where it established the D River State Wayside.

		As he drifted through the slanting rain, the slope fell behind, its step-rutted path connecting water to land and leading upward from river to home and barn and cemetery, the two small graves facing the sunset side of the hill, watching the sea.
		Kneeling stiffly on throbbing knees and bending low behind the light, he sculled his way tight to the bank, hugging the wind-sheltered shallows of drowned mud flats as he sighted along the lantern’s beam, peered into the flness and found the water empty of ducks.
		He sculled farther downriver, past the mouth of the Skipanon River and into Alder Cove, stalking from the northwest to hide his sound and scent.

		The port's commissioners voted unanimously Friday to lease land at the tip of Astoria's Skipanon Peninsula to the California-based Calpine Corporation, which is proposing building a $500 million storage and processing facility at the mouth of the Skipanon River.
		And a liquid natural gas facility on the Skipanon peninsula would be preferable to proposed upriver sites in St. Helens because it would interfere less with other Columbia River traffic, said Oliver Waldman of Salmon for All.
		The port approved a five-year lease with a company representing Calpine, at $38,400 per year, with the option to extend the lease for two 30-year periods.
