📍 From Cascades Trailhead, United States
The 92 mile long Columbia River is located on the border of Washington and Oregon, USA. It is the fourth largest river in North America and is known for its rich history and recreational activities. Anglers flock to the river each year to try and catch salmon, steelhead, and other fish varieties. While the river is not the most picturesque or grand, there are plenty of hidden gems to explore. North Bonneville is prime fishing country, with several boat launches and key access points. In addition to fishing, kayaking and canoeing are popular activities, especially in the Columbia River Gorge, where steep cliffs line the banks of the river. Keep an eye out for bald eagles, ospreys, and other aquatic wildlife. A great way to explore the river is to jump on a boat from Portland, OR or Vancouver, WA, and cruise up the stream for some spectacular views.
