Avery and Avery Park ...

Avery Park is located on the Washington side of the Columbia River at River Mile (RM) 199, downstream of Wishram and upstream of Browns Island. The community of Avery is located inland nearby. Fairbanks Gap, a Missoula Floods Water Gap, is located across the river. Avery was named by the officials of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway for A.G. Avery, their right-of-way attorney. Good views of Avery Park and Fairbanks Water Gap can be seen from a turnout on Washington State Highway 14.
