Guided Tours
Have you ever wondered how old the fish are out in our round ponds, or what wildlife can be found around our site? Learn about all that Columbia Springs has to offer during one of our guided tours!
This year we will have both Hatchery Tours, focused on the operations of the Vancouver Trout Hatchery, and Forest Walks, guided hikes on our trails with rotating topics. Under the guidance of a knowledgeable staff person or expert volunteer, you can discover the magic that our trails have to offer and learn what makes Columbia Springs unique.
