About Spring Creek Hatchery State Park

This small state park sits along the Columbia River inside the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area in southeast Skamania County. Strong west winds meet the river current here, producing large swells that draw windsurfers and kiteboarders, and the park has hosted professional competitions. Visitors also fish, paddle, watch birds such as eagles and osprey, and explore a rocky beach. The adjacent Spring Creek National Fish Hatchery offers interpretive programs and self-guided tours on weekdays and some weekends during spawning seasons.
