NEW WATERFRONT PARKING PLAN IN PLACE FOR 2011

The Port of Hood River Event Site has become a popular water recreation destination for visitors and local residents alike. To encourage enjoyment of the waterfront location the Port has developed a new parking plan for adjoining Portway Avenue and North 1st Street.
The plan designates no-parking areas near the Event Site entrance and along Portway Avenue. Some 90-minute parking has been set aside for the public that wants to visit the Event Site for short periods. Loading zone and reserve parking are identified inside the Event Site lot. The plan was developed by the Port Waterfront Recreation Committee and Parking Subcommittee, which made their recommendation to the Hood River Port Commission.
Daily Event Site fees are $5 for vehicles up to 22 feet and $10 for vehicles exceeding 22 feet (vehicles with trailers longer than 22 feet pay the higher fee). Annual fees are $50 for vehicles under 22 feet and $100 for those over 22 feet.
The nearby Nichols Basin also is seeing more use by water enthusiasts. The Port reminds the public that the Nichols Basin beach is not a park but it may be enjoyed as a limited use area. There are no lifeguards on duty. These activities are not allowed: overnight parking, launching of motorized watercraft and commercial activity. People may still access the water to launch non-motorized watercraft including stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, etc. Dogs are welcome if they are on a leash, and owners are asked to clean up after their pet.
Waterfront areas close at dusk. Management of these waterfront locations is subject to Port Ordinance 22, available here. The Port thanks you for respecting and protecting the Hood River waterfront.
