Beautiful Rivers & Great Trails in Hood River

Hood River’s mountains and trails often take the spotlight when excited vacationers enquire about natural attractions. But the city has so much more to offer. Indeed, there’s a reason it’s called Hood River; there are great rivers that serve as great natural attractions too!

We know you’ll love to see them. Although the rivers are a lesser-known feature of Hood River, it doesn’t mean you won’t find them exciting places to visit.

Head to any of them, and we’re sure your camera will be clicking until you leave. Listed below are two rivers you should see when on vacation in Hood River!

• Eagle Creek

Eagle Creek is a tributary of the Columbia River Gorge. It’s a great place to relax and have fun. You can even camp in the area.

You’ll see a lot of other vacationers because the lower parts of the creek have some of the most popular trails. There are several other trails in the surrounding ridges and mountains too.

And we have to mention the waterfalls. You’ll marvel at how beautiful they are, and they make perfect backdrops for pictures. But, remember, even watching waterfalls is a soothing experience!

• Columbia River

The Columbia River is the largest in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. It is renowned for its salmon and steelhead runs.

Over 1 million chinooks, sockeye salmon, and summer steelhead travel up the river to spawn in a year. You won’t find a better place in Hood River for fishing.

You can hire a boat, head out, and go fishing. It’s a calm and wonderful experience that can’t be replicated easily. But don’t go swimming because the Columbia River is not ideal for that.

Once you’re done sightseeing, what comes next? A fabulous spa session at none other than Hood River’s famous relaxation center, Spa Remedease!
