Tier 1: Paddle Lake River/Salmon Creek With BBQ after*

This is a very special event - our 2nd annual Paddle/BBQ at Frans!
An early fall paddle. Let’s celebrate the change of season & passage of time by being on the water with this easy relaxed paddle exploring this quiet estuary. We will be paddling Lake River out of Felida Moorage with a lazy paddle to Salmon Creek & back. Approximately 2 - 3 hours. Meet at 11:00 am on the water at 11:30 am. Since the Columbia River feeds into Lake River, we will be affected by the tide/current.

**Then.. for those interested and know Fran or I (if not, shoot me a message, introduce yourself)... Fran has graciously offered up her home (close by) again for a BBQ gathering afterwards. Yay! Bring food to grill, sides, beverages... Potluck style. It'll be a great time. End time is an estimate... Fran may need to kick us out... lol.

What to bring:

• A kayak or SUP (SUP's & hard-shell kayaks are welcome)
• Personal Flotation Device (PFD) and whatever else you need to keep safe
• Weather-appropriate clothing. Layers! It might be cool in the morning.
• Water & food
• Sun protection
