We will put in at Deep River and paddle out into Grays Bay. Here the Columbia broadens to its widest point, eight miles across. After rounding Rocky Point, we will pull out the journals of the Lewis & Clark Expedition to share their dramatic entries from their stormy days on the bay. The jetties built at the mouth of the Columbia protect us from the surf that battered the Corps of Discovery.

Our route along the wild shoreline is excellent for wildlife – black-tailed deer, river otters, and herds of Roosevelt elk are all seen on tours. In early spring bird life is abundant, including tundra swans, loons, and bald eagles.

We will have lunch on a beautiful sand beach with a view across to Astoria before riding the incoming tide back to Deep River.

Advance reservations are required. For information contact Carla at 360-795-8300 or email info@skamokawakayak.com
