Buster at the one mile mark We hiked as far as Taylor Lake, and enjoyed spotting Bluebirds, Ground Squirrels, American Coots, and American Wigeons. This is a trail we plan on returning to for wildflowers as well as more bird watching.
This 12 foot wide asphalt path begins at the outdoor display area at the Discovery Center, snakes down the hill under the railroad tracks, through the Crates Point Wildlife Area, past Taylor Lake, along the Columbia River, over Chenoweth Creek, past the Lewis and Clark camp site of Rock Fort, past downtown of The Dalles and eventually will connect with The Dalles Dam, for a total distance of 9 ½ miles when completed.
