RECREATION - BOATING/RAFTING – RIVERS AND LAKES – GUIDE SERVICES – POOLS AND HOT SPRINGS

White-water rapids, check. Pristine lakes, we’ve got them. Glacier-fed streams, they’re here too. Often identified by the glorious mountain that rises above the region, many of the best outdoor memories in Oregon’s Mt. Hood Territory can be made in area waters. Whether in a fishing boat, on a rafting trip or during a swim in a lake where you are the sole resident (human that is…), you will find yourself at home in our waters. So don’t be shy. Come take a dip, use our guide services to learn where to catch tonight’s dinner, or find the best spots to venture out on your own.
