Our Waterfalls & Waterfront self-guided tour is the most most popular way to experience the Gorge and visit up to five waterfalls, as well as the swimming hole at Viento State Park.
RECOMMENDED ROUTE
Wyeth Trailhead to Viento State Park: This 13-mile roundtrip ride will take you over rolling hills and directly past three waterfalls on your way to Viento State Park, where you can cool off in one of the Columbia River's best swimming holes. You will also have the opportunity to park your bikes and take short hikes to Lancaster Falls and/or Emerald Falls along the way.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THIS RIDE
Ride on a car-free bike path. This route keeps you away from car traffic for the entire ride, making it perfect for beginner riders and anyone else who prefers a more peaceful ride.
Experience the best of the Gorge. You'll see sweeping vistas, towering firs, and up to five spectacular waterfalls all while zipping along on your e-bike.
Cool off in the river or the waterfalls. Walk behind waterfalls, jump in their basins, or take a dip in the river at Viento State Park. We recommend packing a swimsuit during the summer just in case you get the urge to go all the way in.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day biking the gorge. My pre-booking questions are were responded to quickly and the booking process was easy. Guidance to the trailhead and assistance with the Lectric-e-bikes was flawless.
The paved trail through the gorge was stunning, especially the waterfalls. We decided to add another 24-miles to Cascade Locks & Stephenson. The view from Bridge is the Gods is not to missed.
Highly recommend Bike the Gorge!

Fabulous experience in the PNW, highlighted with discovering new falls. Even older, inexperienced riders will enjoy to the fullest. Thanks Ben and team for exceptional service 👏

Bike the Gorge is one of the best ways to experience lesser known areas in the Gorge! We had an absolute blast stopping at 4 waterfalls and a little park area where you can go swimming. I'd never rode an eBike before but it was simple to figure out and I loved the opportunity to explore the area in a different way! The self guided tour is easy to navigate since they provide a QR code on the bike that pulls the map up on your phone. The guided tour is a great option to fully experience the area thanks to their suggestions and knowledge while exploring! We went at sunset (from 4:30 - 7 pm) and it was literally the perfect time. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

What a fun adventure! I definitely recommend Ben and his company. His communication was excellent, the Ebikes were top of the line and ready for us when we got there and easy to ride. His instructions were great, and the Gorge and the weather were beautiful I can't wait to do it again!

Rental (online) quick and easy and they're reasonable rolling with changes.
Bike was great, easy to use.
A lot of traffic noise along the route, but the route itself was mostly traffic-free, shady and very nice. Waterfalls along the way made great pit stops.
Altogether a fun experience on a beautiful Fall day. Will be back for more.

Ben was fantastic. He gave us all the information we needed to have a safe and fun adventure. He was very accommodating. He gave us an extra half hour with no charge, because it was a slower day. One of our bikes’ batteries malfunctioned. We gave Ben a call. He came right out and replaced the battery and we were able to finish our adventure. Ben was a great host and we would definitely rent from him again. Next time we’re going to do an all day adventure so we have even more time to explore.

My wife and I have completed a number of bike rides while on vacation. Our experiences include rides in other countries (Spain, Italy and Croatia). The “Ride the Gorge” rates very high in our experience. Columbia River tanks up there as one of the best. The weather was perfect and the ride was scenic with roads/paths easy and smooth. There are beautiful waterfalls along the way with a stunning stop at the end (Vienta State Park). There were a number of wind surfers and all were friendly.
The e-bikes were well maintained and fit both my wife and I well. (I am 6’7” tall and she is 5’4”.) Ben was helpful and very friendly. We went at a leisurely pace and it took us about 4.5 hours with stops.

The Gorge is amazing, and this is the best way to see it!! We will be going again next weekend. The views are amazing and the E-Bike was very easy to learn as it was our first time using one.
