Join the Estuary Partnership for a family friendly canoe paddle on Lake River through the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. Participants paddle two 34' canoes to Lake River's confluence with the Columbia River. Bring your lunch- we'll have picnic on the beach. Estuary Partnership staff will be on each canoe to steer, offer paddling advice, and share information about the river and surrounding ecosystem.
Who can paddle?
Big Canoe trips are open to the public. 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!
