The park features a river beach suitable for fishing, a small craft launching area, picnic areas, and restrooms. [1] Steelhead Beach is a launch point for summer tubing trips on the river. Canoes, kayaks and paddle boards can be launched from the beach all year.
Sturgeon still spawn in the area below the dam, and the lower Columbia River supports a healthy sturgeon population. Small, very depressed populations of white sturgeon persist in the various reservoirs upstream. The dam features fish ladders to help native salmon and steelhead get past the dam on their journey upstream to spawn. [13]
A special fish barrier dam was built to lead salmon and steelhead, returning to spawn, into the Feather River Fish Hatchery. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has developed a safe eating advisory for fish caught in the Thermalito Forebay and Afterbay based on levels of mercury or PCBs found in local species ...
The Bridge of the Gods is a steel truss cantilever bridge that spans the Columbia River between Cascade Locks, Oregon, and Washington state near North Bonneville. It is approximately 40 miles (64 km) east of Portland, Oregon, and 4 miles (6.4 km) upriver from Bonneville Dam. It is a toll bridge operated by the Port of Cascade Locks.
Uvas Creek is a 29.5-mile-long (47.5 km) [12] mainly southward-flowing stream originating on Loma Prieta peak of the Santa Cruz Mountains, in Santa Clara County, California, United States. The creek descends through Uvas Canyon County Park into Uvas Reservoir near Morgan Hill, and on through Uvas Creek Preserve and Christmas Hill Park in Gilroy.
The 106-acre and roughly 40-foot deep reservoir — which typically holds more than one billion gallons of water — is supplied from upstate reservoirs, which have dropped below their own normal ...
The Nimbus Fish Hatchery is located in eastern Sacramento County, built on the downstream side of the Nimbus Dam. [1] It is one of the 21 fish hatcheries the California Department of Fish and Wildlife oversees. [2] Chinook salmon and steelhead are raised, and about 4 million Chinook salmon and 430,000 steelheads released each year. [3]
On completion of the replacement dam, a third of the old dam was removed to allow the reservoir to be impounded by the new dam instead. The construction project allocated funds to restore populations of native fish in other parts of the watershed. A ladder for Steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) at the dam itself was deemed infeasible.
