09/16/2019 - Lewis and Clark River, Astoria, OR

Time: 3.25 hours
Distance: 10.3 miles

Our second trip to the Lewis and Clark River. We left Portland for Astoria Sunday afternoon, spent some time scouting future kayaking locations and ate at Buoy Beer Company that night. Monday we once again put in at Netul Landing and paddled upriver. This trip we timed the tide so that it was rising our entire paddle. The weather had been rainy for days but we once again got lucky and the sun was shinning the entire trip. This trip we paddled as far upriver as we could before it became too shallow to continue.

Lynda scouting a future put in on our way to Astoria the day before the paddle.

Beers at Buoy the night before the paddle.
