Plan Before Recreating In The Gorge

State, federal and nonprofit groups are encouraging people to plan before venturing out to recreate in the Gorge.  Winter trail damage, COVID-19-related modifications, along with a closure of the Historic Columbia River Highway between Bridal Veil and Ainsworth State Park, have the agencies urging people to prepare by having backup plans if they find their initial destination is already full with people.  Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Recreation Staff Officer Stan Hinatsu says they are already seeing usage at some sites at levels normally associated with summer.  ReadySetGorge.com includes an interactive map of recreational trails, boat launches, picnic sites and more.  Also included are packing lists and other helpful tips, such as suggestions for lesser-known but equally beautiful trails.
