Join us for some summer fun and sun on the Lewis and Clark River. See bald eagles soar while you paddle calmly though history and listen to stories about life on the river.
The free ranger-led paddle tours occur Friday through Monday through Labor Day and on Saturday and Sundays through September. Launch times will vary each weekend depending on the tides.
To sign up or to find out what time the tours begin, call 503-861-4425 or go online at http://www.nps.gov/lewi. Tours are approximately two hours in length.
The park provides canoes and kayaks, paddles, and PFDs. Registration is based on a first come first serve basis through online/phone reservation. Release of liability forms can be downloaded from our park website or through the ranger on the day of the paddle.
Paddlers will meet at the Netul Landing (south entrance) at the canoe launch area for orientation and tour.
The themes of the paddle will vary daily and include both natural and historical topics geared for all ages. Paddlers should dress for the weather, protective clothing for being on the water, and bring water and snacks. Activities can be canceled because of inclement weather.
Lewis and Clark National Historical Park is open daily from 9am to 6pm through Labor Day.
For more information, call the park at (503) 861-2471.
