Summer season begins for boating through river locks
BOATING -- The summer schedule for recreational boaters using navigation locks to travel past U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers begins Sunday.
Lockage outside the scheduled times will be considered for flotillas or other organized events sponsored by yacht clubs, marinas and other groups, provided 24-hour advance arrangements are made with the appropriate location.
Check information for each dam on the Walla Walla District’s recreational vessel schedule.
The Corps also has a useful brochure, "How To Lock Through."
Following are phone numbers for operators at each dam.
