Join the Estuary Partnership for a family friendly canoe paddle on the Willamette River. Participants paddle two 34' canoes across the river and into Holgate Channel behind the Ross Island complex. This no-wake zone provides the perfect venue for wildlife observations and enjoying the wild of the city. Estuary Partnership staff will be on each canoe to steer, offer paddling advice, and share information about the Willamette River ecosystem.
Who can paddle? Children ages 5 and up and adults are welcome. Previous paddling experience is not necessary. We can often accommodate paddlers with special needs with advance notice. Paddlers must be able to step 2.5 feet down into the canoe and sit on a wooden bench for over an hour.
Registration required!
