2/26/2022 - Scappoose Bay/Multnomah Channel, Scappoose, OR

Time: 3.13 hours

Distance: 10.12 miles

We put into Scappoose Bay on a cold and overcast morning. We paddled West to where the Bay meets the Multnomah Channel then turned East and paddled up the Channel. We'd originally planned to cross the Channel and explore some of the inlets on the North side but fishing season had just opened and there were quite a lot of boats many of which were speeding up and down the Channel. The weather remained cool with light winds through the paddle but we only got a small bit of rain near the end.
