The beloved and historic Clamshell Railroad transported people, oysters, cranberries and more up and down the Long Beach Peninsula before there were paved roads! Known as the train that ran by the tide table, not by the time table, retrace the whistle stops and learn about the early days of transportation out here at the "end of the road".
The McGowan stop's historical significance dates back a long ways. The Washington State Park's Station Camp a short distance southeast of this cache features displays of some of the artifacts of early native tribes and settlers, and the church also located within the park still holds summer services.
