Columbia River
Columbia River Gorge, Oregon-Washington border.
The four lower dams on the Columbia River are equipped with large navigation locks, which facilitate barge traffic along the river system. These locks, along with those on four additional dams located on the lower Snake River, allow for navigation as far inland as Lewiston, Idaho. All of these structures are also equipped with fish-passage facilities.12
