Experience Overview:
Columbia River Gorge Kayak TourWelcome to the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Join the eagles, osprey, salmon and sturgeon on an epic journey on the Columbia River.
Starting out in beautiful Herman Creek Cove we'll get comfortable with the kayaks and explore the crystal clear waters as we paddle a gentle inlet of Herman Creek toward an old fish hatchery
From there we head out onto the Columbia, staying near the shore and letting the wind of the gorge push us to our next cove while soaking up the majesty or this amazing river. The wind will blow us down to Government Cove where a secluded cove full of wildlife awaits.
We'll pause for a water break on the shore and get a chance to watch the birds soar over the water.
After some more exploring of beautiful Government Cove we'll paddle to shore and hop on a 5 minute shuttle back to where we started. The shuttle allows us to paddle downwind, making this tour suitable for those who can walk about 100 yards through the woods and are comfortable in a kayak.
