The Hood River Watershed
The 339-square mile Hood River Watershed originates on the eastern side of the Cascade Range in Oregon. Its rivers flow north from the 11,245 foot peak of Mt. Hood, to the Columbia River at an elevation of 74 feet.
How We Help
The Watershed group supports on-the-ground restoration and water conservation projects that improve watershed health by providing planning, funding, project management, and assistance.
