Communities VISIT HOOD RIVER The communities of Hood River County are anchored by historic riverside towns: Hood River — located about 60 miles east of Portland and the center for the area’s commerce and arts and culture scenes — and Cascade Locks, located about 20 miles west of Hood River on Highway 30. Hood River has three unique districts to explore: downtown, a historic area with shopping and restaurants; the waterfront, which skirts the Columbia River and features a marina, green space, children’s play area, small beach for swimming, the Hook and dining spots; and the Heights, a quiet neighborhood with off-the-beaten-path shops, markets and great eateries. To the south of town lies the agricultural heart of the valley and the Fruit Loop, which leads visitors to the small towns of Odell and Parkdale, known as the Upper Valley. visithoodriver.com 11
