Sept's Kayak Guide Special will be to the amazing Sauvie Island. We'll start our trip on McNary Lake, paddling into the North Arm of Sturgeon Lake, spying on herons and raptors as we move through flooded strands of cottonwood trees. An awesome boxed lunch from Gretchen's Kitchen will be served on an island in Sturgeon Lake. Then out and back on the Gilbert River, making a large loop through the interior of Sauvie Island and having an unforgettable day on the water.

This trip will use stable recreational kayaks. No previous kayaking experience is necessary. The day will start with a quick lesson for any first-time kayakers.   Sept 11th & Oct 16th, 10 am - 5 pm Meet at 10:00 A.M. at the Paddle Sports Center.  704 SE Washington All kayaks & gear will be included.
