PARKS INFORMATION A. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND FOR CHARBONNEAU & FISHHOOK PARKS Ice Harbor Lock and Dam was named for an ice-free cove just upstream from the location of the dam. Steamboat captains used the cove as a safe place to wait out the winter without danger from ice. The Dam is located on the lower Snake River approximately ten miles from its confluence with the Columbia River. The waters of Lake Sacajawea now cover the cove. The lake was named for the Shoshone Indian women who accompanied the Lewis and Clark expedition in their search for theeasiest route to the Pacific Ocean. Ice Harbor Lock and Dam and Lake Sacajawea are located on the lower Snake River in Walla Walla and Franklin Counties, near the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers in southeastern Washington. The dam is 9.7 miles above the mouth of the Snake River, which enters the Columbia River at River Mile 324. Lake Sacajawea is the downstream unit of the series of four impoundments authorized for the development of slack water navigation on the lower Snake River, extending from the head of Lake Wallula to the vicinity of Lewiston, Idaho. Ice Harbor Lock and Dam is 2,822 feet long, and 100 feet high. It is of the concrete gravity type, with an earth-fill embankment section at the north abutment. It was a ten-bay spillway 590 feet long, and ten 50-foot tainter gates. Lake Sacajawea, when full, extends northeast thirty-two (32) miles upstream to Lower Monumental Dam, and has a surface area of 9,200 acres Summers are generally very dry with abundant sunshine and maximum temperatures averaging near 90 degrees. There are days with temperatures in excess of 100 degrees, but the low summer humidity reduces the impact from the heat. Cliffs and rounded basalt bluffs predominate along the 32 mile length of Lake Sacajawea. These high rugged features are created by the down cutting action of the Snake River through the layers of basalts and other lava-derived materials that underlie the Columbia Plateau. Thus, the reservoir lies at the bottom of a gorge entrenched within grain fields, vineyards, orchards and dry land pasture of the plateau uplands. B. CHARBONNEAU PARK - INFORMATION SHEET Charbonneau Park is on Lake Sacajawea, which is formed by Ice Harbor Dam on the lower Snake River.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND FOR HOOD PARK Lake Wallula is the reservoir which lies behind McNary Lock and Dam and came into existence in 1957. Lake Wallula begins at Columbia River Mile (RM) 292.5 and extends 64 miles upstream. The lake shoreline extends past McNary Beach, Hat Rock State Park, and Warehouse Beach, through the Wallula Gap, past the confluence of the Walla Walla River and Sacajawea State Park and the confluence of the Snake River, through the Tri-Cities of Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland, and to the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site, located approximately twenty-seven miles upstream of Pasco. Lake Wallula also extends ten miles up the Snake River to Ice Harbor Lock and Dam. Lake Wallula has a water surface area of 38,800 acres, with 242 miles of shoreline, and a normal operating range between 340 and 335 feet above sea level. Lake Wallula is a diverse area. The 16,908 acres surrounding the lake are public lands used for recreational, wildlife habitat, wildlife mitigation, and water-connected industrial development. Approximately 2,400 acres are licensed either to State or local park agencies, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service owns and manages approximately 3,500 acres of public lands as part of the McNary National Wildlife Refuge. The Wallula Gap (near Pasco) is one of the most significant natural features in the story of the Ice Age floods. All the floodwaters from glacial Lake Missoula after having spread out over hundreds of miles of the Channeled Scabland were funneled through this single narrow opening only a few miles wide. During Ice-Age floods more water entered the Gap than could pass through, so the water backed up. Behind the bottleneck, floodwater rose to an elevation of 1,250 feet, almost a thousand feet above present river level. This forced floodwaters up the Yakima and Walla Walla river valleys, submerging Yakima and Walla Walla under hundreds of feet of water and backwater rose to almost a thousand feet over Richland. Surrounding ridgelines tell tales of the unique geology and cataclysmic forces that shaped the Columbia Basin. Treeless mountains (Badger Mountain, Rattlesnake Mountain, and Red Mountain) rise from the earth, great basalt remnants of the Ice Age floods. The Ice-Age floods' impact is also evident in the sediment layers at White Bluffs, in the unique vegetation of the shrub steppe, and in Columbia River bars. The basalt and lava landscape was carved by the great Ice-Age Floods. E. HOOD PARK - INFORMATION SHEET Hood Park, in Eastern Washington, is on Lake Wallula, formed by McNary Lock and Dam on the Washington/Oregon border. The park is three miles south of Pasco, Washington.
