Information About

Barlow Road




It opened in 1846 as a Toll Road , charging five dollars per wagon and ten cents for every head of Livestock . Many emigrants who traveled along the Oregon Trail could not afford to use the Barlow Toll Road, and instead floated down the Columbia River to get to Oregon City. Both methods of passage connected The Dalles to the Willamette Valley.

In 1992 , the Barlow Road was placed on the National Register Of Historic Places as a Historic District . In 2005, part of it was incorporated into the Mt. Hood Scenic Byway .
