Bingen straddles the meeting of the Columbia River and the lower Cascade foothills in southern Washington, a position that links this compact river town to the wider Columbia River Gorge. The community lies within the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, where basalt cliffs, forested slopes and the broad river channel shape the setting. Across the water is Hood River, Oregon, while the Gorge is internationally associated with windsurfing and kiteboarding thanks to its regular winds. Bingen was named after Bingen am Rhein in Germany.
