About Bradley State Scenic Viewpoint

This Oregon state scenic viewpoint sits along Highway 30 near Astoria and works as a roadside stop for travelers. Visitors can use a restroom, see a monument, and look out over the Columbia River from a stand of Douglas fir trees. The land was first given to Clatsop County by the heirs of Nathan Bradley in 1921 and passed to the state the following year. It was once set up as a roadside service area for drivers, including a caretaker's cottage, but that building is gone now. The park is located north of U.S. Route 30 between Astoria and Portland.
