We have the blessing of living on the waterfront of the Washougal River. Waterfront is such an honor. It is entertainment and relaxation no matter what day it is of each year. We have lived here 14 years.  It's just pretty amazing to wake up and see the fall morning sun has changed the whole demeanor of the outdoors. This picture almost can't do it justice. The colors are so vibrant, the leaves shimmer and shine in the golden morning.       The Washougal River is very low this year. It's even lower than usual. With that being said, we have more beachfront (rocks) than normal. In the picture you can see our "family seating area" where we watch the friends, family and grandchildren play in the river.   There are four Salmon runs each year. I know when it's getting close because my sweet n...

Washougal River....A Good Time for All Especially If You Live Here!   Along about Memorial Day...the Washougal River starts warming up enough to jump in and swim. It is snow-fed and spring fed too. Be careful about swimming, etc. before the water warms up...it can be downright icy!     The Washougal River has so much to offer for water activities! I can speak from actual experience since I've lived in our home along the banks of the Washougal for ten years. (You can live here on the Washougal River too!) I live several miles up the river and I enjoy the drive home from work every day. It is so relaxing to admire the water tumbling, the big fir trees lining the banks and sometimes even the gorgeous blue sky draped overhead.  There are several public parking pull-out areas such as the thr...

  We had a fabulous time at the Washougal River Christmas Tree Farm today. It's located 7 miles up the Washougal River. Don't worry, there are plenty of signs to lead you there. When you arrive, you will see hillsides full of perfectly grown varieties of trees to choose from such as Douglas, Noble and others.The prices vary approximately between $16 and $30, maybe more....all depending upon size. You can cut your own tree or choose one that is pre-cut to take home. They all smell so good...just like the Christmas memories you remember.       The farm is welcoming, well laid out, with lots of cheerful assistance for those who want to cut their own tree. If you wish to cut your own...you will be given a "dolly" type wagon to take out to bring back your tree. Then when you come back, the ...

The Columbia River leading into the Washougal River is called "The Camas Slough." (Slough is pronounced "slew")  Yesterday, August 29, 2013...my nephew, "the fish whisperer" told me that over 15,000 Chinook crossed up into the channel heading up the Washougal River to spawn. Yes, there are lines of fishermen and women trying to catch just one of them! They have parked their cars up above by the railroad bridge, brought their lawnchairs and coolers and claimed a spot along the banks of the Columiba/Washougal River.   I live here on the Washougal and it is a cool time of year to watch as the "WAVES" of Salmon come UP the river. You can't really see the fish...but you know they are there because...what river flows backwards?? Then when the big school of fish reach the rapids...that's the b...

You either LOVE IT or you HATE IT. Washougal MX Races 2013! The races happen the third weekend in July every year! I know people who come from all over the United States to participate or just to watch the fired-up action of the Washougal River Motorcross!! Washougal is a great place to live and the Motorcross is part of what makes us fun!! For us living down on the Washougal River Road it's not noisy, but if you live up Hughes road...you may Love or hate the sound of the races that happen sometimes on the weekends. The races are not every day or all year long. But as for me each year, it's so exciting to see the big, beautiful semi-trucks emblazoned with the different racing company sponsors. The traffic used to be just atrocious but it has since been re-directed so no more traffic jam...
