Dave Hoffman is getting ready for a HUGE group of kayakers to go for a paddle up to Willamette Falls. This effort was coordinated by eNRG Kayaking and Oregon Active. It was a great kayak program.
This is a great shot of all the kayakers in the locks. It is amazing how much water they hold back. The industrialized zone is hardly the landscape that Lewis and Clark marked as the end of the Oregon Trial. Its amazing what humans can do to build up an area around such a historical site.
Check out these pictures from our source to mouth Sandy River descent this spring. As part of a tribute to the newly free flowing Sandy River, Sam Drevo Chris Emerick, and Ross Henry decided to run the entire River from the very top to the confluence with the Columbia River. The trip took 3 full days and was about 45 miles. We paddled the Sandy River from the very top (when it was barely a creek), starting about a mile above McNeil Campground paddling down past the Zig Zag River confluence, past the Salmon River confluence, we ran Alder Creek Rapid which had a huge breaking wave, and down through the Marmot Dam site, the Sandy River Gorge, past Revenue bridge, Dodge Park, down to Oxbow park, past Dabney, and Lewis and Clark State Park ending in the Columbia River taking out at Chinook Landing. We shot video the whole way down and intend to produce a video documenting the descent and telling the story of the ever changing Sandy River.
