Top 10 Outdoor Activities in Hood River, Oregon (OR)

December 26, 2021 Major Galusha

Hood River beckons travelers with the scent of orchard blooms and the promise of adventure on the rushing waters of the Columbia River. The winds through the Columbia River Gorge provide the perfect conditions for windsurfing and kite surfing, making the city a hotspot for those sports in recent years. The surrounding area is ripe with orchards growing cherries, apples, peaches and other sweets. Take the Mt. Hood Scenic Railroad through the orchard route and take in the views of Mt. Hood.

Mount Hood

The tallest mountain in Oregon.

Reviewed By MarilynM1457

My birth place and such a beautiful drive any time of the year with lots of scenery, places to stop and taste the wonderful fruit and goodies along the way. Fruit Loop is a joy to go on. All the way from Hood River to Odell, to Parkdale, Dee and back to Hood River and seeing the majestic beauty of The Hood just about wherever you drive. Takes my breath away every time I see it.

Gorge Flyboard

Gorge Flyboard was established in 2013 to introduce Hood River to the newest board sport in the country. While standing on a small board similar to a wakeboard the rider is propelled through the water and into the air by the water pressure created by a jet ski. A certified instructor gives real time instructions via a two way headset. Although it may look extreme it is a very safe activity and easily learned. Unlike other board sports Flyboarding is easily learned. You can be flying around over the water in a few short minutes. Fly like a super hero at Gorge Flyboard
