Recenter Map To This Location

From Multnomah Falls, you’ll have to join I-84 again. Take Exit 40 to the Bonneville Dam, built by the federal government for $70 million between 1933 and 1936 at the urging of Franklin D. Roosevelt. It’s an impressive piece of engineering, to be sure. The five-story Bradford Island Visitor Center (open daily from 9 am to 5 pm) features exhibits discussing the purpose and building of the dam; as well as films about the Columbia River, fish migration, and current U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ projects. If you’ve never seen a fish ladder, this is a good place to experience it: through an underwater window you can watch salmon and other fish bypass the dam as they follow nature’s migratory course unimpeded.
