Explore Hood River on a kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding adventure! We offer rentals and tours in the heart of the Columbia Gorge, launching from the Hook, just West of the Hood River waterfront park. There’s always more to explore with Wells Island, a local waterfall, and views of Mt Hood and Mt Adams just a short paddle away. Experience the area on your own with hourly and daily rentals or with a scenic guided tour where you can see and learn about the local flora and fauna, including many indigenous birds!
