The Tam-a-láu Trail is a 4.3 mile loop along the plateau in Cove Palisades State Park. Tam-a-láu originates from a local Native American language and translates to “place of big rocks on the ground.” Great views of The Island, Billy Chinook Lake, and the Crooked River can be seen from the viewpoint at the top of the trail. Rattlesnakes can be found along the trail, so some caution should be taken while walking in the area.
