The town of Hood River Oregon is located 60 miles east of Portland on Interstate 84 in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area. The area is rich in natural resources with agriculture, timber and recreation as the major sources of economic activity. Fruit grown in the Hood River Valley is of such exceptional quality that the county leads the world in Anjou pear production. Cultural and recreational activities abound including windsurfing, kiteboarding, scenic parks, mountain bike trails, fishing, camping, whitewater rafting, year-round skiing and snow boarding, historic tours, festivals, museums and art, cultural and civic organizations. The climate in Hood River is mild with less than half the annual rainfall of Portland.
Nichols Landing is located on an embayment of the Columbia River within walking distance of downtown Hood River. The end of the spit separating the property from the mouth of the Hood River provides some of the best kiteboarding on the Columbia. The launch site for the windsurfers is immediately west of the basin.
