Willamette Park Big Canoe Picnic Paddle

Join the Estuary Partnership for a family friendly canoe paddle on the Willamette River. Participants paddle two 34' canoes behind Ross Island to the quiet Holgate Channel. 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 2 hours.

Registration required!
