Are you thinking about taking up whitewater kayaking?  Have you practiced in the pool? Then you are ready to head to the river for a beginner kayak lesson  with Northwest River Guides!  We’ll introduce you to kayaks, paddles, equipment, and get you in the boat, and on the river – starting with an easy stretch.

As you progress with whitewater kayaking, you’ll also witness incredibly beautiful rivers, gorges, birds, and wildlife at different times of year. Imagine that you can eventually take your whitewater passion to exotic destinations overseas!

Our introductory lessons take place on the Clackamas River here in Portland, Oregon. We teach on an easy section of the Clackamas River where you’ll build confidence. We’ll show you peel outs, eddy turns, ferries, and if you are doing well, even rolling in current. You’ll learn proper outfitting, a few things about river scouting and safety. The lessons run four hours. Saturdays 9:00 – 1:00 and Sundays 2:00 – 6:00.

To register call 503-772-1122 and we’ll get y0u set up with gear that fits!
