Spring Creek Hatchery State Park is a 10-acre day-use park offering approximately 150 parking spaces, primitive picnicking and six unsheltered picnic tables. After a day on the water, diverse dining options are available at near towns, Bingen, White Salmon and Hood River.
Strong west winds drive against the river currents, creating big swells and frothy whitecaps. The park is so well known for its waves, it has even hosted professional windsurfing competitions. Experienced windsurfers and kiteboarders are encouraged to use this part of the Columbia River.
Visitors can enjoy viewing wildlife, such as bald eagles, osprey, peregrine falcons, flickers, beavers, and many other small mammals, amphibians and reptiles. This area of the Columbia River is designated as a critical habitat for three species of endangered salmon and two species of steelhead that are proposed for listing as endangered.
Interpretive opportunities
Interpretive programs and self-guided tours are available at the adjacent Spring Creek National Fish Hatchery from 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. weekdays and on select weekends during spawning seasons. For more information about the hatchery, visit their webpage.
