Nice chill area to swim or sun bathe with close proximity to good food. Water is nice and not too cold during summer. And you can swim pretty far out and it's not too deep. When it's windy, you can also see tons of people kite surfing. And the playgrounds nearby are quaint and have tons of kids

Absolutely stunning place to come on summer evenings. A lot of people do kite surfing and kayaking and just watching them itself is a lot of fun. Highly recommend kayaking, if nothing else. Beautiful Breeze and great picnic area to enjoy a lazy day.

Nice place to wing foil. Mostly suited for beginners. Grassy rigging area and clean bathrooms. Not much shade. The port of Hood River charges 2.75/hr parking but it’s nice being very close to launch. The annoying downside is when they’re (often) giving wave runner assisted lessons, they’re zipping in and out of the same launch as everyone else and they can be a menace. The really should relocate the wave runners.

Kiteboarders can launch from the grassy park on off season months, but in the heart of summer launching has to take place out on the sandbar due to the large number of kiters. However you can pump up your kite and lay out your lines on the grass… and when done you can leave your kite on the grass to dry.

Fun place to spend the day. Mostly kiters/wind sports to watch. Just down from some good family beaches, waterfront playground, and restaurants.
