Where to Go Shopping in Hood River

When you think of what to do on a Hood River vacation, you probably picture days filled with hiking, mountain biking, and other outdoor pursuits. However, what do you do when you need a break from exploring the Great Outdoors? While Hood River is known for its outdoor activities, there’s more to do in the Columbia River Gorge town, including shopping. To help you plan your day of retail therapy, the local team at Columbia Gorge Vacation Rentals has put together a guide to our favorite stores. 

Outdoor Gear & Sportswear

If you forget to bring something with you for your outdoor adventures, don’t worry. Chances are, one of the outdoor gear and sportswear stores in Hood River has what you’re looking for. For fly fishing gear, check out Gorge Fly Shop. If you need things for windsurfing, kiteboarding, or stand-up paddleboarding, head to Big Winds Hood River. For apparel, Alpine Sea Co. and Doug’s Hood River are great options. There’s also Shortt Supply, a running and outdoor store that has been a Hood River staple for over 20 years.

Clothing

If you’re in need of a new outfit, there are plenty of charming boutiques and shops to explore. Found inside a 1890s home in the heart of downtown, The Ruddy Duck has clothing, shoes, and accessories for the whole family. Footwise is a go-to option if you need to replace a pair of shoes.

Books & Gifts

There are plenty of stores in Hood River that have something to remember your trip by. Some of our favorite gift stores include Pacifica, Hood River Stationers, and Spruce Gifts & Provisions. 301 Gallery is a great stop if you prefer to remember your trip by buying a new piece of local art. If you’ve run out of books to read, stop by Waucoma Bookstore or Artifacts – Good Books & Bad Art for some new page turners. There’s also G Willikers Toy Shoppe if you promised to bring your kid a toy home.
