The Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail consists of a few sections of path connected via parks and city streets. This section is a continuous paved path with access to a number of other trails branching off from the main trail once entering Viento State Park and Starvation Creek State Park.

Tollbridge Park is located just a few yards from the famous Bridge of the Gods that spans over the Columbia River to connect the states of Oregon and Washington. There are restrooms and lots of shade if you want to take a break here.

In 1890 Thunder Island is a small island on the Colombia River that was carved out of the mainland build the Cascade Locks and Canal. This area is important to Native American Fishermans who still use it today, so please visit respectfully. The island is just a few yards on the other side of the footbridge heading northwest.

Another great vantage point of the famous Bridge of the Gods connecting the state of Oregon to Washington above the Colombia river.

There are a few good eats and drinks in town, and Thunder Island Brewing is for sure one of them. There are some great home brews on tap, and they can change, so try them while they are in rotation.

The Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler takes off from Cascade Locks Marine Park. The Sternwheeler is owned by the Port of Cascade Locks and is now operated by JettyLight. Nichols Boat Works built the boat and launched it in 1983. It is an authentic triple-decker paddle-wheeler curzer that gives visitors a great view of the George from the lowest point. To find out more about excursions, visit sternwheeler.com or call (207) 319-0206.

Mt Defiance Trailhead is another hop off point to see a waterfall. Here bikers can walk their bike 200 feet south to see Hole in the Wall Falls, or Lancaster Falls just a little bit east from Hole in the Wall. The trail is named after Mt Defiance, which at 4,960 feet tall, is the highest point in the Columbia Gorge.

Starvation Creek State Park can be easily overlooked by tourists. It is situated at the base of the steep walls of the Columbia Gorge. Starvation Creek State Park's most popular spot is only 100 feet north from the staircase; it's called Starvation Creek Waterfall; and from the trailhead, it's at the end of a boardwalk, 50 feet from the parking area. Picnic tables feature views of the falls; it's a great place to cool down on a hot day and a perfect spot to eat a packed lunch.
