When taking first time visitors out to this area, we often drive from Portland on the Washington side to take in views of Mt. Hood in , then stop at the Cape Horn viewpoint to take in the lush and expansive views of the Columbia River. Always a crowd pleaser that elicits oos and aghs. Next we pass through Cascade Locks, we stop at the Marine Park to use the clean facilities and enjoy a picnic. There is plenty of room to spread out and it's never crowded. There is a small playground for the kids, lots of open space, and a boat launch and Marina. The park is well maintained and so peaceful.

With sailing, fishing, camping, picnicking, and where the Sternwheeler cruises begin and end, the…read moreCascade Locks Marine Park is the perfect place to enjoy the more beautiful views of the Columbia River. Park amenities include a children's playground, open lawns, picnic tables, clean public restrooms, a gravelly beach, boat launch ramp, and marina. We often drive out to just sit and watch the windsurfers, various birds and boats go in and out. Unique views of the Bridge of the Gods is just downriver too. The Marine Park offers a variety of indoor and outdoor venues for special events for groups of 5 to 500. Such a nice place for a birthday party, baby shower, family reunion or even a wedding. Make sure to tour the Historical Museum while you're there and see the first steam locomotive of the Oregon Territory, the Oregon Pony. The Marine Park also serves as the meeting and launching point for the Columbia Gorge Racing Association's sailing events, and racing takes place in the waters upriver from the beach at the east end of the Park. Check their webpage for next year's Regatta in July. This is world-class sailboat racing in a world-famous big wind venue and not to be missed. Many professional sailors say it's "the best place in the world to sail."

Hood River Waterfront Park

Hood River Waterfront Park

Spotted this place on Maps just after visiting one of the local taquerias, so I decided to stop by…read more This park seems to be a very popular place for locals to hang out on a Sunday. I was lucky enough to snag a free parking spot right across the street, but there aren't any empty spots left. This park is a very popular spot for wind sailing due to its ideal location near the convergence of the Hood River and Columbia River Gorge. According to signs at the park, wind gusts can reach up to 100mph. People come here from all over to participate or spectate. Wind surfing schools and shops are set up on the waterfront and across the street. Hmmm... I might need to learn how to wind surf this summer... The park also features a small children's playground near a beach, walking trails, and access to bike trails. Dogs are allowed, and cleanup stations are provided. There is no camping or overnight parking allowed at the park, but there are several state parks and private campgrounds nearby. The river around the park is an important fishing area for Native Americans. Signs around the park remind people to be respectful and steer clear of equipment that doesn't belong to them. Parking is available for a small fee at the park, or across the street for free on a very limited basis. Overall a great place to chill on a Sunday and witness the local culture.

Visiting Hood River is a must on its own!! But you cannot…read morebeat what you're going to get at the waterfront park !! A small cove cut out for the beach , kite surfing or watching, beautiful water views, Mt. hood, beautiful people watching, playgrounds, it's all here and worth the visit! A couple of things to keep in mind, the bathrooms are very clean and accessible spread throughout . They have a lifejacket lender station !!! It was so nice to be able to let the kids just hop in the water and swim freely! (because I sure as heck I'm not gonna pack lifejackets on my trip who does that?!) Within walking distance, there are so many food options. We always visit Solstice (see that review if you're looking for some great pizza in town).
