Oak Point, Washington

Oak Point is located northwest of the city of Longview, reached by traveling westbound out of the city along Washington State Route 4, also known as Ocean Beach Highway, and turning north onto Mill Creek Road.

Stumps of old growth trees cut during the logging camp's heyday, some of which are up to six feet in diameter, can still be seen throughout the area.

Oak Point is characterized by thickly forested hills, and steep canyons through which a number of small creeks run.

Soil consists of a thin layer of black loam in forested areas and dense red clay throughout.

Some homes in the community were threatened when an approximately one mile stretch of the cliff face gave way without warning back in the 1960s.
