Extending roughly from the confluence of the Columbia with the Deschutes River down to eastern reaches of the Portland metropolitan area, the water gap furnishes the only navigable route through the Cascades and the only water connection between the Columbia River Plateau and the Pacific Ocean.

Inhabited since the time of the earliest arrival of humans in North America, the gorge provided the route in 1805 for the Lewis and Clark expedition to reach the Pacific Ocean. The gorge today holds federally protected status as one of the most popular recreational destinations in the region.
