About Pedal & Paddle Hood River
Pedal & Paddle Hood River is a dual-sport rental and tour operator located on the Hood River Waterfront at 301 N 1st Street. Combining kayaking, paddleboarding, and e-bike experiences under one roof, they offer visitors a convenient way to explore both the water and land attractions of the Columbia River Gorge — one of the Pacific Northwest's most scenic outdoor playgrounds.
On the water side, they offer kayak and paddleboard rentals launching from the calm, sheltered waters of Nichols Boat Basin, plus guided kayak tours that explore the dramatic basalt cliffs and hidden coves along the Columbia River. On land, their fleet of premium e-bikes lets riders cruise Hood River's renowned fruit loop — a scenic 35-mile route through orchards, vineyards, and farm stands — without breaking a sweat on the hills. Both self-guided and guided options are available.
Pedal & Paddle has earned consistently high ratings for their friendly, knowledgeable staff and well-maintained equipment. Their waterfront location means guests can easily combine a morning paddle with an afternoon e-bike ride, making the most of a day in Hood River. The shop also provides route maps, local tips, and safety briefings to ensure every outing is both enjoyable and safe.
