Gateway to 
Mount St. Helens
Recognized as the “Gateway to Mount St. Helens,” Castle Rock is located on Interstate 5 between Exits 48 and 49. Scenic (SR-504) Spirit Lake Memorial Highway originates in Castle Rock and provides access to the dramatic landscapes of the Toutle River Valley and Mount St. Helens. Founded in 1854, the town’s namesake, a 150 foot-high rock, was a landmark for Cowlitz Indians and Hudson Bay traders as early as 1832. Today, Castle Rock is an active community of 2,100 divided geographically by Interstate 5. Downtown Castle Rock is located along the Cowlitz River west of Interstate 5. It is accessible at Exits 48 and 49 as well as SR-504. Downtown areas of interest include the Castle Rock Exhibit Hall (with historic displays and exhibits relating to Mount St. Helens), Harry Truman Memorial Park, unique shops, restaurants, grocery stores and other service related businesses.
