Pedal & Paddle HR is a waterfront rental and tour operator based in Stevenson, Washington, offering e-bike and paddlecraft experiences on the Columbia River and in the Columbia River Gorge. The company provides single and tandem kayak rentals, standup paddleboard rentals, full-day e-bike rentals, self-guided routes through the Hood River Valley and Gorge, and guided e-bike tours including a geology-focused tour led by geologist Clara.
Rentals come from a waterfront dock with easy access to a protected inlet and nearby Wells Island for calm paddling, while e-bike departures begin at the Hood River waterfront and Historic Columbia River Highway access points.
Safety and accessibility are priorities: each paddler receives a kayak or SUP, paddle, and life jacket, and staff offer professional guidance for route planning and on-water basics. E-bikes are suitable for riders aged 16 and up and are maintained for reliable performance on varied Gorge terrain. Tours include self-guided options like the Fruit Loop route and guided options such as the Combo Ride and Columbia Gorge Scenic E-Bike Ride.
Pedal & Paddle HR supports visitors exploring orchards, tasting rooms, and scenic viewpoints including Mt. Hood panoramas, Mosier, and the Twin Tunnels Trailhead. With locally rooted knowledge of the Gorge and straightforward rental logistics, the company is positioned as a convenient choice for visitors seeking active outdoor experiences in Stevenson and nearby Hood River. Bookings and rental details are provided through the operator’s reservation system and on-site staff.
