About Cascade Locks

Cascade Locks is a community of approximately 1,390 residents in Hood River County, OR. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Small Gorge town with limited housing stock, known as a PCT thru-hiker stop and kite/windsurfing base with seasonal tourism.

Small single-family homes and cabins from the 1940s–70s with a few newer homes and vacation rental properties.

Local Considerations

  • Columbia Gorge wind events regularly exceed 70 mph, causing structural damage and extended power outages.
  • Steep terrain above town creates rockfall and landslide risk, particularly along I-84 which is the sole highway access.

Water System

City water system draws from mountain springs and small creeks on the Gorge hillside above town.

Emergency Access

I-84 is the only highway route and Gorge closures due to accidents, slides, or wind can completely isolate the town.

Pricing Note: Remote location keeps prices low relative to Hood River but vacation rental demand has driven 30% appreciation since 2020.
