Seufert Park

Seufert County Park is a public park located just east of The Dalles, Oregon, United States, and is operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The park's main attraction is The Dalles Dam Visitor Center where one can view exhibits regarding the history and function of the dam. The park also has picnic tables and a small rose garden.^[1]

The park is named after the Seufert family which operated a salmon cannery near the park from the late 19th century until the construction of the dam.^[2]

In 1896 Seufert Brothers went into the fish canning business for the first time when the firm opened a plant at The Dalles. The company continued in business for fifty-seven years through the fishing season of 1953. Construction of The Dalles Dam by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers forced the company to close its doors in 1954 as the backwater from the dam flooded the fishing grounds.
