Welcome!

The Riverfront Trail at The Dalles is 8 miles of beautiful paved trail that traces the south bank of the Columbia River at the historic "bend in the river," where the Columbia takes a dramatic 90-degree turn from its east-west flow to a north-south direction.

The Riverfront Trail re-establishes the connection between the Community of The Dalles and the Columbia River. The asphalt-paved trail is 8- to 12-feet wide, making it perfect for bicyclists, walkers with dogs or strollers, joggers, and many others. The majority of the Riverfront Trail is ADA accessible.

The Riverfront Trail

The Riverfront Trail at The Dalles winds along the southern bank of the Columbia River for eight miles between The Discovery Center to the northwest and The Dalles Riverfront Park at the eastern terminus.

Amenities along the Riverfront Trail include restrooms (the Pocket Park and The Dalles Dam Visitor Center), easy access to downtown The Dalles, numerous benches, and distribution points for small baggies to be used by dog walkers (thank you for collecting your pet's product distribution).
