4/3/2021 - Columbia River, Langsdorf Landing, Vancouver, WA

Time: 3.05 hours

Distance: 9.9 miles

We put into the Columbia River at Langsdorf Landing in Vancouver WA and paddled up-river before turning back down-river going around Caterpillar Island and back to the Landing. It was opening weekend for Salmon fishing so the river was crowded with fishermen both on the shore and in boats but the day was beautiful with temperatures in the mid 60's so the paddle was very pleasant.
