Hood River County’s new parking permit program for six county forest trail staging areas will get underway on April 1. The permit will be good for parking at Seven Streams, Post Flats, Family Man, Binns Hill, Kingsley Reservoir Day-Use, and Pinemont staging areas. County Forester Doug Thiesies says an online payment portal will be ready soon, available through the County website and QR codes. Annual permits will be available for $30, and day-use permits will be $5. Money generated from the program will help support the County’s recreational trails programs.
