Spillway Park sits on the Columbia River beside the dam spillway — dramatic rushing water, textured concrete infrastructure, river vistas and seasonal birdlife. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and long shadows; spring and fall bring migratory waterfowl. Easy roadside access and small parking area; mostly flat paths and no entry fee. Weekdays are quieter; watch for spray and slippery surfaces near the spillway.
