PPP #2 - Paddle, Picnic, Paddle - Columbia River challenge

We are paddling the Columbia River from Camas to Vancouver.

--------------------------------------------------------
This is an intermediate paddle due to the distance and open water time on the Columbia. You should be comfortable paddling 3-4 mph.

Bathrooms: At boat ramp/park
Parking: Free on both ends

Starting Location: (parking lot in front of Port of Camas/Washougal - photo below)

[See Photo Below of proposed route]
Start @ Green @ Port of Camas
End @ Red @ Vancouver Park

We’ll do about~10 miles, navigate the Camas slough, return to the Columbia, and then land on a sandy beach of Tri-Club Island, have a lunch/picnic, and then continue to park ~5 more miles.

We are going WITH the flow of the river, and the tide will me mildly with us.

This will be a longer than some of our other paddles.
Somewhat faster kayaks, and/or a bit of paddling strength & stamina are recommended for this paddle. We will need to at least keep a moderate pace. Feel free to post any questions you may have about this, or message me.

We love when you bring friends but they do need to sign up individually so they agree to the terms and conditions as this is an active event that has risks and hosts / organizers are only volunteers with no experience or specific training.
