Sandy River
discovered
The Sandy River snaking its
way through the canyon at the
foot of Mt Hood is a continually
changing stream th a t has
threaded a path to the
Columbia River as it has done
for uncountable years prior to
the date of its recorded
discovery by the white man
In 1872, the same year as the
disco very o f the C olum bia
River, a B ritish Naval officer,
Lt Wm R Broughton, who was
responsible for naming Mt
Hood, ca lle d the stream
"B a rin g s R iv e r.” In 1805.
Lewis and Clark were making
th e ir jo u rn e y through th is
country and encountered the
rive r which they called the
"Quicksand R iver.” Then, with
the passage of tim e and
common useage it became
known as Sandy River
A m arker commemorating
the rive r's successive names
stands on Interstate 80 N. at the
Troutdale interchange
