SUP - If you’re experienced you can just take your gear to :
The mouth of the White Salmon; there is a pull out and put in on the right as you approach Highway 14 at the bottom of the hill.
7 Miles West on Highway 14 is the Fish Hatchery and many folks put in there for wind, kayak and SUP.

Old Ranch Road Trail
Old Ranch Road TrailRoad Biking - Trout Lake Loop - 22 Mile Loop along the river and through the valley - Ride North on 141 (people are very conscientious of bikers) to Sunnyside Road and turn right and follow to the T and turn right. At the next T make a left and this will take you into Trout Lake. You can either return on the Highway (fast downhill) or cut back onto Warner Road at the main Trout Lake intersection by the cafe and before the church. BTW, stop and have a bite at the Cafe - basic, but steady.
