Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail: Viento State Park to Mitchell Point

Construction Phase

Region 1: Portland metro and Hood River County (Hood River)


​A new two-mile section of the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail is being constructed to connect at Viento State Park and continue east toward Mitchell Point. An additional .7 miles of trail will be needed to connect to the new Mitchell Point Tunnel. The project includes upgrades to the South Viento State Park Campground, including a new restroom.

Construction of this trail segment will be challenging along the steep slopes and near the freeway. A mix of rockfall fences and rockfall mesh will be installed on six slopes adjacent to the trail and I-84 with large cranes to improve safety for trail and interstate users.

About

This segment of trail will improve the trailhead at Viento State Park and create a new, paved trail for recreation and for cyclists to travel east-west for an additional two miles without using the shoulder of I-84.

Two miles of the Viento State Park to Mitchell Point segment of the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail is scheduled to open in 2024. An additional .6 miles of trail will be needed to connect to the new Mitchell Point Tunnel. ​
