Overview

Directions: From Portland take US Highway 30 west towards Scappoose/St Helens. Look for the turn-off on the right to Sauvie Island. Take the turn and head over the bridge. If you don’t have a parking pass you can buy one at the small shop on the corner. Take the road that goes back under the bridge. When you reach the fork in the road head to the right. Continue for 6 miles and turn right onto Reeder Rd. Follow this road for 6 more miles. You will pass a harbor on the right, that means your almost there. In another mile you will see a parking area on the left with stairways heading over the berm on the right, this is Reeder Beach. Drive to the last stairway and park. This is where all the kiteboarders setup and launch. Set up north of the stairway.

It is your responsability to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
