Things to Do

IN THE MIDDLE OF SO MUCH!

You wonder, "What is there to do in Dufur?" Being where the Columbia River Gorge meets Oregon's High Desert provides endless opportunities.

Explore what interests you. We'd be happy to assist you in putting together the perfect day trip.

For even more adventures in the Gorge be sure to visit Columbia Gorge to Mt. Hood.com
