Doug's Beach

In 1805, Lewis and Clark stopped for supplies at an Indian village in the vicinity of today's park.  The transaction is recorded in their journals.  The park acquired its name from a windsurfer who used to frequent the beach when the sport was in its infancy.  "Doug" still lives in the Gorge and owns a business in Hood River, Oregon.  Doug's Beach State Park is a 400-acre, undeveloped day-use park on the Columbia River.  This is one of the premier windsurfing sites in the Columbia Gorge and is rated for advanced sailors.  Parking is along the south side of SR 14.  There is a pedestrian walkway behind the vehicle-parking area, fenced from passing trains.  Visitors access the beach down a paved path with railroad-crossing arms and signals.  Summer: 6:30am to dusk.  Winter: 8am to dusk.  The park is open year-round, day use only.
