7/24/2021 - Lewis River, Woodland, WA

Time: 2.75 hours

Distance: 8.05 miles

We put into the Lewis River just off the road in Woodland, WA on a beautiful sunny day. We made our way up the Lewis river as far as we could with about a half dozen portages before we got to a point that we were having to portage every few minutes. We circled back and tried a different fork where we were able to move a bit further up river before encountering the same issue of repeated shallow water requiring portage. We then turned back and enjoyed the easy paddle back down river.
