Starvation Creek State Park, State park in Hood River County, United States.

Starvation Creek State Park is a state park west of Hood River, Oregon, in the Columbia River Gorge. It has a small waterfall and a trailhead for hiking. The park lies in a valley in Hood River County, about 13 km from Hood River.

Starvation Creek took its name from an incident in which a train was halted there by snow drifts and passengers had to dig it out. No documented starvation occurred at the site, despite the name. The park later became part of the Oregon state park system in the Columbia River Gorge west of Hood River.

The historic highway trail here shows where an old road once connected towns through the Columbia River Gorge. You can walk the same route and see how people long ago traveled through this landscape.

Visitors should know the area is open year-round, but paths can be slippery during winter months. Good footwear and weather protection are important because wind can be strong in the gorge.

The name comes from a snowbound train, not from hunger: passengers had to dig the locomotive out of drifts, and no documented starvation occurred. The park has a small waterfall and a trailhead for hiking, with Hood River about 13 km to the east.
