Admission to Bonneville Dam is free. The dam’s two visitor centers (one on Bradford Island in Oregon and one on the Washington shore) are open from 9 a.m.—5 p.m. daily except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

Located east of Portland in the Columbia River Gorge, Bonneville Dam is most easily accessed by car. The 40-mile (65 km) drive is simple: take I-84 East, then take exit 40 to the Bonneville Dam.

Bonneville Hatchery is Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s largest hatchery facility and has a diverse fish production program.

Display ponds offer a relaxing place to feed large rainbow trout and view adult white sturgeon measuring more than 10 feet long, and there is a gift shop open all year.

Located at Bonneville Fish Hatchery, the Bonneville gift shop sells coffee and other refreshments, locally-produced artwork, and gift items from the Columbia River Gorge.
