Dog River Trail Temporarily Closed

Hood River County logging operations along Highway 35 are impacting Dog River Trail (#675) access. The trailhead and trail are closed for road relocation/construction during the logging operations. The estimated reopening time is July 2025.

The timber sale and related work are on neighboring Hood River County lands but still impact trail access. The construction work is intended to improve riparian areas and watershed quality.

Following the construction, access to the Dog River Trailhead will resume from a new location just north of the current trailhead entrance. Check Hood River County’s Trail Status page for more information.

In the meantime, Downhill MTB access will be allowed on Zig Zag Trail (#678) until access to Dog River is reopened.
