What’s so great about kayaking? You are right down at water level. You’re a part of the nature around you. You might see fish swimming under you or ducks swimming alongside you. You might see otters or any number of wildlife on the shore. It can be peaceful and relaxing or exciting and an adrenaline rush. Take the kiddos and paddle down the Tualatin. Have a whitewater ride down the Clackamas. Or, go sea kayaking along the Oregon coast. You decide the level of experience you want, guided by the level of experience you have. It’s all available in Oregon.
