- Steigerwald
Lake National Wildlife Refuge
Steigerwald Lake NWR was created in 1984, and contains 1,059 acres of
historic lakebed and river bottomland habitat. This refuge supports
anadromous fish, breeding neotropical birds, and migrating and wintering
ducks, geese, and other birds.
-
- Steigerwald Lake NWR is located just inside of Washington's western
boundary of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, east of the
city of Washougal. Visitors may enjoy viewing Refuge wildlife and scenes
of the Columbia River by accessing the Columbia River Dike Trail at
nearby Captain William Clark Park, just west of the refuge on Port of
Camas-Washougal property. Refuge lands off of the dike trail are not
open to the public, however, plans to construct a Steigerwald Lake NWR
Gateway kiosk and refuge trail are progressing.
