Bonneville Lock & Dam / Cascade Locks
Located in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area 64 kilometers/40 miles east of Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington, Bonneville Lock and Dam forms a connecting link between the two states.
Bonneville Dam has been described as a massive hydroelectric site, but it is also one of the most viewed attractions in Oregon. Bonneville Lock and Dam was placed on the National Register of Historic Places as an historic district in June 1986.
The glass-walled visitor’s center on Bradford Island offers many exhibits that educate you about the dam operations, navigational history on the Columbia River and fish migration. When Salmon are migrating, you can enjoy an underwater view.
Watch river traffic pass thru the larger navigation lock built in 1993. Cascade Locks built in 1896 to get ships through a once dangerous stretch of rapids, is also a town rich in history.
Cascade Locks is also home to The Bridge of The Gods, a National Historic Landmark structure which connects Oregon and Washington. |
