Viento State Park, located in the windy Columbia River Gorge near Hood River, Oregon, offers a mix of camping and day-use activities. The park's name comes from the first letters of three railroad tycoons who built the first railroad in the area. With spacious campsites, access to the Columbia River for windsurfing, and a trailhead for the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail, Viento is a great spot for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy picnicking by a babbling creek, explore the lush forests, and take in views of the Gorge while hearing the occasional train horn. Whether you're looking to camp under the stars or go for a scenic hike, Viento State Park has something for everyone.
