The beautiful and diverse landscape of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is a magnet for outdoor adventure seekers and nature lovers alike. You can bring your tent or RV and spend a few nights under the stars in one of three campsites, take a scenic drive through the extensive area, go on day hikes, or choose longer backpacking adventures along some of the dozens of scenic trails that offer wildlife viewing en route.

Other popular activities include biking, fishing, boating, swimming, tubing and windsurfing and there are several accessible areas for those with mobility restrictions. There are a number of museums dotted around the area and you can even combine great views with great beer on a Gorge Beer Trail.
