Eagle Creek Campground

## Overview

Eagle Creek Overlook Group Site is set on a forested bluff above the Columbia
River, providing an ideal setting for family gatherings and group events.  
  
Developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s as a place to
view construction of the Bonneville Dam, this site features CCC masonry and
offers expansive views of the Columbia River and mountains rising from the
gorge.

## Recreation

The Eagle Recreation Area, just a short walk or bike ride away, provides
visitors with opportunities for picnicking, hiking and wildlife viewing.  
  
  
  
Bonneville Dam, about a mile west of the campground, features sturgeon ponds,
fish viewing and a visitor's center. Visitors will find display ponds
showcasing large rainbow trout and adult white sturgeon measuring more than
ten feet long. Interpretive displays offer visitors insight into the history
and construction of the dam and its impact on the surrounding areas.  
  
  
  
The Eagle Creek Trail* is the most popular trail in the Columbia Gorge,
offering spectacular viewpoints and waterfalls. The relatively easy trail
follows Eagle Creek through the forest and along paths carved into basalt
cliffs. Notable stopping points include Punch Bowl Falls, where water spills
100 feet into a blue-green pool set in a large grotto, High Bridge, which
traverses the gorge 150 feet above the creek and Tunnel Falls, where the trail
passes through a tunnel behind the shower of falling water. This trail is part
of a multi-day loop opportunity which continues into the Mark O. Hatfield
Wilderness in the Mt. Hood National Forest.
