Balfour Klickitat offers unique views of the Columbia and the Klickitat rivers as well as wildflower and birdwatching opportunities. The site has a fascinating history and offers wonderful interpretive opportunities related to Native Americans, the Lewis and Clark Trail, and European settlement.
The property was the likely site of a Klickitat Indian village visited by Lewis and Clark. English nobleman Sir Thomas Balfour developed an extensive agricultural operation in the 1890's, of which barely a trace remains
today.
