PADDLE TRIPS
The Tualatin River
The Tualatin River is a slow, meandering river, which is more like a series of long lakes because of a very low gradient the lower 30 miles. The river offers a fantastic opportunity for paddlers that are new to the sport to "get their feet wet." The beauty and serenity of the river keeps enthusiasts coming back again and again.
TRIP INFORMATION
While Tualatin Riverkeepers (TRK) paddle trips are open to all members and the general public, space is limited and reservations are required. There is a trip charge of $5 per person for TRK members and $10 for nonmembers. TRK canoes are available to members free of charge by reservation (except for Discovery Day). Nonmembers may rent our canoes for our paddle trips for $30. Personal flotation devices must be worn on paddle trips. TRK trips may be cancelled due to severe weather (lightning, flooding, ice etc.), but will often take place in the rain. Please dress accordingly. All trip leaders are volunteers and are not compensated for the time and energy that they put in to making our Trips and Tours Program successful. TRK trips may be canceled if we are unable to recruit sufficient volunteer support to lead a safe and enjoyable trip. For more information or to register for our trips and tours, please call (503) 620-7507 or email vicki@tualatinriverkeepers.org
