You think that's enough? Just getting warmed up. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Hood River - West Fork, and if you're visiting from Hood River, you won't be the only one. Having a perfect time in the Central Cascade Range is painless.
If you come at the right time of year, Hood River - Lake Branch offers some good whitewater, and don't forget to take a nice little journey to Gorton Creek. It's always splendid to stop at Warren Creek Falls; do have a look at Harphan Creek if you're here at Wyeth Trail. A journey
to Collins Point in the neighborhood of Wyeth Trail is always a great idea. There's so much to do here at Wyeth Trail that you need to camp here for a while, Wind Mountain Resort is a nice place for that.
You just can't imagine the amount of outdoors fun stuff the Central Cascade
Range has to offer. Don't leave Wyeth Trail without first paying a visit to Lancaster Falls; Wyeth Trail is great enough to spend more than a day at, Timberlake Campground is a great local campground.
