The Port of Cascade Locks purchased the bridge with $950,000 (or $9.69 million[6] today) in revenue bonds, issued on November 1, 1961.

The Port of Cascade Locks Commission owns and operates the bridge still today.

The Pacific Crest Trail crosses the Columbia River on the Bridge of the Gods.

[8] Onlookers in September 1927 saw Charles Lindbergh fly the Spirit of St. Louis from Portland low over the new bridge and then, in a bit of barnstorming, make a 180 degree turn and fly back under the bridge, continuing to the Portland Airport, then on Swan Island.

[3] For many years, the bridge toll was $1 per crossing; In 2016, it was raised to $2 due to the increased traffic after the release of the 2014 film Wild.
