1/29/2022 - Lewis River/Columbia River, Paradise Point Park, WA

Time: 3.1 hours

Distance: 9.65 miles

 

We put into the Lewis River at Paradise Point Park in WA, paddled down the Lewis to the Columbia River and then up the Columbia for a short distance before turning back. The say was beautiful with mostly clear skies and sunshine, no wind and almost no river traffic. The temperatures were a little cool (48 degree F for the daily high) but we were prepared for those temperatures so it was a great trip.
