PORTLAND, Ore. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will offer its regularly scheduled Saturday and Sunday tours of The Dalles Dam and has scheduled additional tours on Monday to celebrate Labor Day. Tours this weekend will begin at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

 

On the tour, patrons will join a park ranger for a guided tour to learn about the dam’s history, operations, power generation and fish passage facilities. Tours begin at The Dalles Dam Visitor Center, where guests can explore a variety of interactive displays, watch a short film on the benefits and impacts of the dam, get a sneak peak of fish migrating up the fish ladder or browse the Discover Your Northwest bookstore.

 

Visitors can also wander through the historic Seufert Rose Garden and picnic in Seufert Park. The park offers scenic views of Mt. Hood and access to the eastern end of The Dalles Riverfront Trail. A covered picnic shelter is available with plenty of shade.
