Hood River County

Head lickety-split to the Event Site and Spit in Hood River County where all kinds of wind and water sports on the Columbia River come alive. Wind flows through the towering river canyon walls and into the City of Hood River, making it a world-renowned windsurfing destination. The Spit is a nearly half-mile long sandbar that's also perfect to launch a kite and go stand-up paddle boarding from. Bonus: the beachfront is located right near the city's historic downtown that's bustling with fun shops and breweries.
