Columbia Gorge Kayak School is located in Hood River Oregon, just one hour east of Portland, OR. With an abundance of outdoor activities to choose from, kayaking can take you off the beaten path to see some of Washington and Oregon’s most beautiful rivers. Our most exciting activities take place in our whitewater category, but we also offer flatwater kayaking trips for those who want to enjoy the amazing scenery of the Columbia River Gorge at a slower pace. If you are in town and looking for a fun day out on the river try one of our day trips.
