    We learned a lot about the Columbia River and why the dam is so important. A very interesting visit and a lot of it was thanks to the employee on duty - thank to Travis?

    Very nice place to stop. The lady inside was very nice and informative. Has a great shaded area next to it for walking dogs And letting kids run off energy.

    Great viewing point upon the The Dalles Dam. Short trail to walk to an excellent view poi t on the river bank just opposite to the Dam
  • By Kerry Stevens
    Fascinating details about the dam history and operations. However, the tour is currently not operating and the displays are average for this type of experience. But the in-person, impromptu presentation by the ranger made the difference. Without her, I'd rate it 3 stars.
