A nano at Prescott Beach. This is a 71 acre day use park that requires a $3.00 parking pass fee. BUT, I was told that if you are here for less than 20 minutes, you do not need a pass. Just drive in, grab the cache and be on your way! It's that simple.
If you do decide to stay, please pay the $3.00 parking pass fee. Enjoy the beach, go fishing, have lunch, play on the playground, try your hand at the horseshoe pit or just be lazy and enjoy the calm waters of the Columbia River.
According to Oregon Geographic Names (McArthur and McArthur, 2003), the town of Prescott was named around 1905 after the owners of the local sawmill, and the Prescott Post Office was in operation from 1907 to 1946. However, according to the Columbia County Historian Homepage (2004) as gather from the Rainier Review, Christmas Edition, 1925:
"... The spot now called Prescott used to be known as Danby's Landing. When the mill was built the name was changed to Prescott, probably because the mill uses a large quantity of what is known as Prescott machinery ..."
