Sea kayaking around Oregon can bring you to scenery hard to see otherwise. We will kayak around Scappoose Bay or Sauvie Island. Both of these areas are tidal and adjacent to the mighty Columbia River. Winding waterways take kayakers through wetland floodplain forests and marshlands. Eagles, swans, and Sandhill cranes are often seen, and if you’re lucky, you may spot one of the resident river otters. Come paddle with us!
Central Oregon’s Deschutes River features seven major rapids in twelve miles, making this one of the premier rafting rivers in the state. You will get wet, and you need to paddle hard! This trip is not recommended for non-swimmers, although you’ll be led by experienced guides, and everyone has to wear a PFD on the river. If you like whitewater—this is an awesome time!

Spring on the sunny, dry side of the Columbia Gorge is amazing. Learn to identify, as well as taste, some of the edible plants of the eastern part of the Columbia Gorge. Learn about Native American uses of plants and trees. Not only that, but learn about some of the poisonous plants you would want to avoid if you’re “wild foraging”!

Spring Into Action on this great wilderness service project. This trip will do half a day of wildlife enhancement work on top of Klickitat Canyon, then backpack into a remote campsite later that afternoon spending the night in just the gear you carried in on your backs. Spring is in full bloom in the Gorge by this this time in April, and wildflowers should be popping up all over. Since the rainfall this far east is minimal, plenty of sunny skies and spectacular scenery are expected!
