Welcoming Pal's to Tomahawk Bay

Grand Opening August 18, 2025

We are thrilled to announce the opening of Pal's, Hayden Island on August 18 at Tomahawk Bay .

Restaurateurs Donald Kenny, Brandon Bowden, and Sean Hoard (Suttle Lodge, Spirit of 77, and Teardrop Lounge, among others) will be dishing up casual Northwest cuisine, cocktails, coffee, soft serve, and more. Pal's will also have a small grocery store, where you can pickup cooking essentials, beer, wine, produce etc. Check out the features in The Oregonian, Eater Portland, and KOIN 6.

A New Arboretum for All

In addition, we have opened the Tomahawk Bay Arboretum to all Columbia Crossings tenants and boaters. Our meadows feature an outstanding collection of native west coast flowers, shrubs, and trees. This collection includes “the oaks of the west coast,” which consists of 25 unique oak species, a hyper-diverse “crevice garden”, Adirondack chairs for relaxing, and three gas fire pits.

We kindly ask that you not bring outside food or beverages into the fence-enclosed area.

Conceived by Pistils Landscape Design and Earth Ecology, we're proud of what our team has created. In the next 6 months, we will extend the trail and native meadow east, all the way to Ricky Point.

Special thanks to architect Lorraine Guthrie, contractor Cameron Myers and team, Uncle Rick, the welders, and of course, our CC crew led by John Walker. We are also grateful for the spectacular work by Nick Lake, and our college/high school summer workers who have worked through the summer heat to get it done.

Tomahawk Bay is a special place, and we want to fulfill its full potential as scenic Columbia River waterfront. Thanks for your patience throughout the construction, and we hope you enjoy Pal's and the new Tomahawk Bay!
