Description

Located in Benson State Recreation Area in Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge, Hartman Pond gathers water from several of the area’s major waterfall creeks, including Multnomah and Wahkeena. It’s known primarily as a fishing pond, with very few folks realizing what a scenic location it actually is. I chose a remarkably still late afternoon in early November to catch some of the autumn glory, and Hartman Pond did not disappoint!
