This tour is an ideal
introduction to kayaking. The route begins in the protection
of Elochoman Slough, retracing Lewis and Clark’s route
to the former site of a Wahkiakum village where the Corps of
Discovery stopped to trade. Entering the national wildlife refuge,
which bears the second-largest Sitka spruce swamp on the Columbia,
we will wind through the waterways in search of otter and eagles.
After lunch on a beach and a mile of paddling on the main channel
of the Columbia, we will finish the trip in historic Steamboat
Slough, where ospreys nest close to the water and a heron rookery
is active from February until mid-June. Traveling with the current,
we will maintain an easy pace with time for exploration, photography,
and practice of newly acquired kayaking skills.
"Warm
weather, great friends, good food, but the kayaking
tour was the high spot of our trip. Thanks to
our wonderful guides."
