Bonneville Dam and Locks in the Columbia River


The Bonneville Dam and Locks are the first set up the Columbia River from the Ocean.  The power generated is sent to Portland Oregon and also to California.





This is a portion of the fish ladder that transports fish around the dam and locks.

The dam is open because another dam up river under maintenance.
