Dane and Lynda Kayak

Time: 10.07 hours Distance: 10.09 miles We put into Yale Lake at Yale Lake Park and paddled South to Saddle Dam. We investigated a small stream on the South East side of the Dam then worked back North to where Siouxon Creek enters the Lake and finally back to Yale Lake Park. The day was overcast and around 40 F but there was no rain and almost no traffic. Lynda preparing to put in (with a hair flip). Lynda paddling on Yale Lake near the put in.

Time: 3.5 hours Distance: 11.12 miles We put into Scappoose Bay in between rain showers, paddled North to Multnomah Channel then worked our way South back up the Channel until we were within sight of the Gilbert Boat Ramp. The river was almost completely devoid of traffic and the weather was strange giving us hard rain, showers, sun and clouds in cycles through the paddle. Lynda preparing to put in.
