Boaters should be increasingly mindful of any materials that may be in the water. Power boaters, water skiers and wind surfers should make themselves aware of local conditions and water depths. Most Corps lakes offer boat ramps for easy launching. Passes can be purchased at The Dalles Dam. Camping fees will be charged at most Corps-managed campgrounds.
Fees vary at each site depending on available facilities.
Golden Age and Golden Access card holders will receive a 50 percent discount on these fees at most sites. Golden Access Cards are available to visitors with disabilities at no cost. The Corps is the nation's second largest federal provider of recreation. More than 11.5 million recreation visits were made to the Corps projects in the Willamette and Rogue basins and along the Columbia River during 1998. The Corps has posted recreational information on the World Wide Web.
