Spot Guide › United States › Oregon › Hood River (Columbia River Gorge)
Best wind
W is the primary Gorge setup; E is also usable at selected launches. Choose the specific launch and recovery from the current regional guide rather than this broad pin.
Hazards
Broad Gorge pin, not a launch. Strong river current, fast-changing wind, large swell, cold water and commercial/recreational traffic require a selected launch, flotation, self-rescue and downwind recovery; consult the current launch guide for rocks, pilings and shallow hazards at that site.
Parking & access
Use the official Port waterfront zones/hours/rates for the selected Hood River launch; this broad pin does not identify a single lot: https://www.portofhoodriver.com/waterfront-parking
