Bonneville Dam fish film festival scheduled
Portland, Ore. -- The Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, invites the public to enjoy the Second Annual Bonneville Lock and Dam Fish Film Festival - films about fish - on Saturday, July 26, and Sunday, July 27. The films will be shown in the Bradford Island Visitor Center theater and at the Washington Shore Visitor Complex between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. each day.
There are a lot of other things to see in the visitor centers while you are there, and the project also has some great picnic areas. Visitors might want to take time to check out the fish viewing windows (this week, chinook and sockeye salmon, steelhead and shad are moving past the windows) and the fish hatchery operated by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Bonneville Dam is 40 miles east of Portland on the Columbia River. To reach the Oregon side of Bonneville Lock and Dam, take exit 40 from Interstate 84; to reach the Washington side of the project, take Washington State Highway 14 to the Bonneville project. For further information, please call the Bradford Island Visitor Center, (541) 374-8820.
