About the Cities
The City of White Salmon takes it name from the nearby White Salmon River, which was named by the Lewis and Clark Expedition when they observed the river teeming with salmon whose color had turned white after spawning.

The area's relatively mild climate and location combine to offer visitors and residents a recreation paradise. Hiking, camping and biking opportunities are abundant throughout the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Mt. Adams area. Water enthusiasts can windsurf on the Columbia or take a rafting or kayaking trip on either the White Salmon, Little White Salmon or Klickitat Rivers. In the winter, downhill skiing is available at nearby Mt. Hood and cross country trails are maintained throughout the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.

Because of its proximity to the Columbia River transportation corridor, White Salmon offers unique opportunities for progressive industrial development. White Salmon has access to nearby barge, train, air transport and interstate highways - all leading to Pacific Rim ports and other major transportation arteries.

The City of White Salmon continues to invest in the retail-tourism sector, recently redesigning the look and feel of the downtown into a classic Bavarian motif. Windsurfing and other recreational activities have helped to bolster the city's retail economy.

In general, the area's farms, orchards, gardens, cattle, llamas, logging mills, fishing and hunting provide a special and diverse way of life for local residents.
