We are proud residents of Cascade Locks, and have many reason why.  The “East Wind” ice cream shop was featured in the movie “Wild” with Reese Witherspoon, as well as other scenes in movies filmed here such as “Benji the Hunted”, “Short Circuit” and “Twilight”, among many others.  We have the Columbia River Sternwheeler that summers here in Cascade Locks that offers short trips as well as Dinner Cruises that let you enjoy the river from a much higher perspective. Oregon and Washington are connected by the “Bridge of the Gods”, which is a toll bridge.  The next bridge west of the is in Portland, and another bridge east of it in Hood River. The Hood River bridge is also a toll bridge.  The toll in Cascade Locks is $3 each way.  If you fish with us, we can tell you the ancient story of how the Bridge of the Gods got its name, as well as some other native american history which is rich and exciting with stories of Lewis and Clark making their way down the Columbia River with Pocohontis (A statue of her can be found in the Park here in town).  There the Cascade Locks Historical Museum down in the park, as well as the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center Museum on the Stevenson side of the river with great information about the area.
