Vehicle permits to be required in ‘waterfall corridor’ on Oregon side of Gorge

Officials are hoping a pilot program requiring timed-use vehicle permits will help reduce traffic and improve safety in the popular “waterfall corridor” on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge. From May 24 through Sept. 5, the new program will require a timed-use permit for personal vehicles to access federal lands in the waterfall corridor — a 7-mile corridor located between Bridal Veil Falls and Ainsworth State Park — between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., seven days a week.
