(For the similarly named rapids on the Athabasca River, see Big Cascade Rapids.) The Cascades Rapids (sometimes called Cascade Falls or Cascades of the Columbia) were an area of rapids along North America's Columbia River, between the U.S. states of Washington and Oregon. Through a stretch approximately 150 yards (140 m) wide, the river dropped about 40 feet (12 m) in 2 miles (3.2 km).These rapids or cascades, along with the many cascades along the Columbia River Gorge in this area of Oregon and Washington, gave rise to the name for the surrounding mountains: the Cascade Range.

  • (For the similarly named rapids on the Athabasca River, see Big Cascade Rapids.) The Cascades Rapids (sometimes called Cascade Falls or Cascades of the Columbia) were an area of rapids along North America's Columbia River, between the U.S. states of Washington and Oregon. Through a stretch approximately 150 yards (140 m) wide, the river dropped about 40 feet (12 m) in 2 miles (3.2 km).These rapids or cascades, along with the many cascades along the Columbia River Gorge in this area of Oregon and Washington, gave rise to the name for the surrounding mountains: the Cascade Range. In 1896 the Cascade Locks and Canal were constructed to bypass the rapids. In the late 1930s, the construction of the Bonneville Dam led to the submerging of the rapids and most of the 1896 structures. (en)
  • Les Rapides des Cascades ou Cascades du Columbia (Cascades Rapids ou Cascades of the Columbia en anglais) étaient une zone de rapides sur le cours du fleuve Columbia au nord-ouest des États-Unis à la limite des États de Washington et de l'Oregon. Le fleuve descendait alors un dénivelé d'environ 13 mètres sur une distance d'environ 2 kilomètres. Ces rapides disparurent en 1937 à la suite de la création d'un barrage qui inonda la zone. Les historiens considèrent que ces rapides (ou cascades) sont à l'origine du nom donné à la chaîne des Cascades qui traverse la région à proximité du Columbia. Les embarcations et leurs marchandises devaient à l'époque être transportés par voie terrestre pour éviter les rapides. Parfois, les bateaux étaient simplement tirés par des cordes sur le fleuve.
