There was a Melges 24 race there a few years back that was quite fun,
although the wind didn't quite make it to the conditions we would have
liked. The sailing is near Cascade locks. Camping is available at the
Cascade Locks Marine Park. Call the Marine Park Offices at (541) 374-8619.
Go to http://www.cgra.org/ for the Columbia River Gorge Racing Association
(bookmark it because it is hard to find). See attachment for an old sail
Magazine Article.
Have fun boys! ...and girls if there are any.
Mike
