A Visit to Bonneville Lock & Dam ~ Columbia River Gorge in Oregon!
Welcome to our visit to The Bonneville Lock and Dam on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge! This is a great place to spend a few hours and marvel at the engineering and design of this amazing masterpiece of the 1930's. And don't forget the fish ~ with viewing windows of the fish ladder, I think a few hours could be spent just sitting and just watching!

Bonneville Lock & Dam
This video shows a summary of our visit to the Bonneville Lock and Dam near Cascade Locks, Oregon which was built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to improve navigation on the Columbia River and provide hydropower to the Pacific Northwest. The first powerhouse was completed in 1938 with ten generators and an electrical output of 660mw. As the need increased, a second powerhouse was completed in 1981 and had eight generators and an electrical output of 558mw. A larger navigation lock was completed in 1991. Fish bypass systems such as the Fish Ladder have been implemented to insure that between 93-96% of the salmon and steelhead survive passage around the dam. For more info see

Cascade Locks is a city in Hood River County, Oregon, United States. The city took its name from a set of locks built to improve navigation past the Cascades Rapids of the Columbia River. The U.S. federal government approved the plan for the locks in 1875, construction began in 1878, and the locks were completed on November 5, 1896. The locks were subsequently submerged in 1938, replaced by Bonneville Lock and Dam, although the city lost no land from the expansion of Lake Bonneville behind the dam some 4 miles (6 km) downstream of the city.
The Columbia River Gorge has supported human habitation for over 13,000 years. Evidence of the Folsom and Marmes people, who crossed the Bering land bridge from Asia, were found in archaeological digs. Excavations near Celilo Falls, a few miles east of The Dalles, show humans have occupied this salmon-fishing site for more than 10,000 years.
The gorge has provided a transportation corridor for thousands of years. Native Americans would travel through the Gorge to trade at Celilo Falls, both along the river and over Lolo Pass on the north side of Mount Hood. In 1805, the route was used by the Lewis and Clark Expedition to reach the Pacific. Early European and American settlers subsequently established steamboat lines and railroads through the gorge. Union Pacific completed its rail line through the Gorge in 1884, on the south shore, opening a transcontinental link between Portland and the Midwest by linking its subsidiary Oregon Short Line Railway to the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company line at Huntington, Oregon. The previous year, 1883, the Northern Pacific Railway had completed its transcontinental line from the Midwest to Seattle and Tacoma, and on to Portland using a ferry crossing at Kalama, Washington. A subsidiary of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways, the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway, was completed through the Columbia River Gorge on the north shore, but not until 1908.
The Columbia River Highway, built in the early 20th century, was the first major paved highway in the Pacific Northwest. Shipping was greatly simplified after Bonneville Dam and The Dalles Dam submerged the gorge's major rapids such as Celilo Falls, a major salmon fishing site for local Native Americans until the site's submergence in 1957.
Over Valentine’s day’s weekend, we spent several days at Cascade Locks, staying at the Best Western. We were fortunate enough to have a fourth floor room with a balcony, affording us the opportunity to video the numerous trains that went by.
This is a list of trains seen in the video:
UP 2625 Eastbound Trailer Train
UP 5552 Westbound Grain Train
UP 5058 Westbound Manifest Train
BNSF Westbound Grain Train
UP 8561 Eastbound Grain Empties
UP 1988 Eastbound Lumber Products featuring The Katy
UP 4104 Westbound Manifest Train

Bonneville Lock and Dam -(Oregon/Washington)
Vacaciones en Oregon ( junio 18 - 28/ 2015) Bonneville Lock and Dam is located 145 river miles from the mouth of the Columbia River and about 40 miles east of Portland, Ore., near Cascade Locks, Ore., and North Bonneville, Wash.
The project’s first powerhouse, spillway and original navigation lock were completed in 1938 to improve navigation on Columbia River and provide hydropower to the Pacific Northwest. A second powerhouse was completed in 1981, and a larger navigation lock in 1993.
A Public Works Administration project of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, portions of Bonneville Lock and Dam Project were declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987.

Cascade Locks, Oregon
Cascade Locks is a city in Hood River County, Oregon, United States. The city took its name from a set of locks built to improve navigation past the Cascades Rapids of the Columbia River. The U.S. federal government approved the plan for the locks in 1875, construction began in 1878, and the locks were completed on November 5, 1896. The locks were subsequently submerged in 1938, replaced by Bonneville Lock and Dam, although the city lost no land from the expansion of Lake Bonneville behind the dam some downstream of the city. The city population was 1,144 at the 2010 census.
Cascade Locks is just upstream from the Bridge of the Gods, a toll bridge that spans the Columbia River. It is the only bridge across the Columbia between Portland and Hood River. Cascade Locks is a few miles upstream of Eagle Creek Gorge, a popular scenic area that doubles as an alternate route for the Pacific Crest Trail. Cascade Locks is used frequently by hikers along the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) to cross the Columbia River. Cascade Locks is the lowest point along the trail, which runs from the Mexico–US border in California to the Canada–US border in Washington, and the largest city directly on the trail.
Since 1999, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs have been pursuing an off-reservation casino to be sited in Cascade Locks. Since 2008, city officials have been pursuing an arrangement that would allow them to trade city well water for state-owned spring water and to sell it to Nestlé for bottling. In May 2016, Hood River County voters voted over 65% in favor of a ballot measure that essentially made Nestlé's plan inoperable from an economic sense. Voters in all precincts except Cascade Locks (Precinct 12) voted in favour of the measure (and against Nestlé); voters within Cascade Locks voted 58% against the measure (and in support of Nestlé's plans). In the wake of the...

Cascade Locks, Oregon
A video postcard of Cascade Locks, Oregon. Named for the historic locks built in 1896 which provided passage around the treacherous rapids on the Columbia River at that location, Cascade Locks is now host to some of the finest windsurfing and sailing conditions available anywhere, and offers a diverse history tied to the locks and its operations.

Herman the Sturgeon and the Salmon Fish Ladders - Cascade Locks, Oregon
The Bonneville Fish Hatchery and Bonneville Lock and Dam are both hidden gems 40 miles east of Portland, Oregon. We were impressed with the facilities at both locations, which are off the same exit from I-85. The Bonneville Hatchery housed Herman the Sturgeon fish, an impressively large and famous Oregon fish, trout that we could feed, and salmon splashing in the river in their attempt to swim upstream. A short drive past the dam locks and up to the power plant led us to a wonderful visitors center with an underground view of the salmon in the fish ladders. The kids earned their ranger badges and we all learned a lot about salmon!

Shaver barge at Dalles Lock
I was really excited to see a barge in the lock at the Dalles, so we went to a viewpoint near the bridge to watch it come through. I checked the drone map and it sad it was ok to fly there. Of course I had some issues, like batteries that weren't full, wind, and a few drops of rain. I was also visited by the dam security guard that explained I absolutely should not ever fly over the Lock and Dam. Of course not sir! Despite all the challenges I got some cool video.

Creswell to Cascade Locks, 9/25/2015
This was the first time I'd taken the 172 into a smaller strip. Cascade Locks is 1800' long by 30' wide. I got a bit shy of the water on short final so touched down a little further down the runway than I'd like. Ah well.
Bonneville Lock & Dam - Fishing For American Shad
Washington State has a free fishing weekend every year, which is the weekend after the first Monday in June. During this weekend, we are not required to have a license to fish for anything; however, we have to follow all regulations.
American shad starts coming into the Columbia river from mid May until mid June, so we decided to take this opportunity to come down to Bonneville Dam to fish for shad. It was a fun experience.
How to Lock Through The Dalles Dam
Locking through the Dalles dam on the Columbia River. This video helps show how friendly the lock masters are. Don't be afraid to tell them you are new, everyone is the first time or two. Asking for additional information is OK. The dams are on VHF-FM channel 14. Dalles is the third dam West of the Tri-Cities in Washington state. The Tri-Cities comprise of Richland, Pasco and Kennewick. The Dalles area along the Columbia River, has lots to offer. The Dalles Marina is a well-protected area with water, gas, ice and showers available. You need to contact the Dalles Yacht Club members to help fill with fuel and shower. There is a sign on the Dalles guest moorage dock with contact information. About 36 miles further West is Hood River Marina. Hood River Marina is really nice with lots to do within easy walking distance.
