Captain William Clark Park — Attraction in Washougal

My recent visit to the river left me greatly disappointed and disgusted. The river was not only incredibly dirty but also suffering from overfishing. The sight of cans and dog waste scattered everywhere made the experience even worse.

It is truly disheartening to witness a river in such a neglected state. The excessive amount of debris was not only unsightly but also detrimental to the overall ecosystem and aquatic life. Additionally, the problem of overfishing further exacerbates the already fragile balance of the river's ecosystem.

I strongly urge the authorities responsible for the river's maintenance to take immediate action. Regular clean-up initiatives and stricter enforcement of regulations regarding waste disposal can significantly improve the situation. Furthermore, implementing measures to address and prevent overfishing is vital to restore the river's health and protect its precious ecosystem.

To fellow visitors, I implore you to be mindful of your actions and encourage responsible behavior. Dispose of waste properly and refrain from contributing to the pollution of the river. By respecting the environment, we can collectively work towards preserving its natural beauty for future generations.

I also encourage everyone to raise awareness about these issues through social media platforms and review websites. Expressing our concerns can shed light on the problems plaguing the river and potentially yield the necessary changes.

It is my sincere hope that the authorities will take these concerns seriously and implement the appropriate measures to restore the river's cleanliness and combat overfishing. A clean and thriving river not only benefits the surrounding wildlife but also provides a more enjoyable experience for visitors.

Let us all join hands in advocating for the preservation of our natural resources, and may we see the necessary improvements for the sake of the river and those who...

So easy to get in and out. Pit stop restroom before you enter park so convenient. Foot rinse station for way out.

Went here today on 6/26/18 and hike down to the refuge from the steamboat parking area. It was a little after 5:30am when I got there. The parking area for steamboat is gravel, there are more nice parking areas in industrial vancouver. The bathrooms don't open till after 6am at steamboat and cottonwood parking areas, so that was not good. The east Dike trail is mostly all gravel and I got a huge blister on my heel from walking to the refuge and back on it, not going to do that again and there are tons of bugs and even mosquitoes so bring your bug spray and put it on. The trail is mostly in the sun in the summer and the signs on e wa st Dike trail can be a...
