Cascade Locks

Cascade Locks lies along the Columbia River in the Columbia River Gorge, where forested slopes rise sharply above a broad, wind-swept waterway. The town occupies Oregon’s side of the gorge within the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, a route long shaped by river travel, railways and interstate traffic. Its name recalls the Cascade Locks and Canal, opened in 1896 to bypass the former Cascade Rapids; those rapids were later submerged after Bonneville Dam was built downstream. The Bridge of the Gods links Cascade Locks with Washington and carries the Pacific Crest Trail across the river.
