A trip to White Salmon is not complete without a trip to White Salmon River. This river was designated as a National Wild & Scenic Area by the U.S. Forest Service because of its amazing beauty and purity. This river is indeed special because it is one of the few rivers that is not fully controlled by a dam. Thus, White Salmon River flows freely, and it is a favorite for those that enjoy kayaking and whitewater rafting. At over 40 miles long, White Salmon River is the perfect destination to enjoy adventurous water activities. You can experience the rush of this river by booking a whitewater rafting adventure via Wet Planet Rafting & Kayaking. This company offers both half and full day whitewater rafting expeditions, and you even can opt for a water rafting cliff jump!
For even more adventure and fun during your stay in one of our White Salmon vacation rentals, head up to Mt. Hood which at 11,249 feet is the tallest mountain in Oregon. Mt. Hood is actually an active volcano that is one of the most beautiful sights on the Hood River skyline. Whether you are visiting during the summer or winter, Mt. Hood is a beautiful place. During the summertime, Mt. Hood is adorned with beautiful wildflowers. If you take Mirror Lake Loop Trail, Ramona Falls Trail and Trillium Lake Loop, you’ll be able to enjoy the beauty of the wildflowers up close. The warm weather also brings the chance to enjoy the nearby lakes such as the beautiful, pristine, reflective Mirror Lake.

Hood is a hot destination for those seeking to enjoy the snowy terrain. Many people come here for skiing, snowshoeing and other outdoor winter activities.
