2/4/2023 - Columbia Slough, Kelly Point Park, Portland, OR

Time: 3.03 hours

Distance: 8.5 miles

We put into the Columbia Slough from Kelly Point Park on a cool and intermittently rainy day. We paddled up the Slough and off on a side channel for a bit finally turning back about two hours in. On the way back we made a stop to scout a new put-in location. During the stop Dane's kayak got bumped, slide down a pathway an out into the water. Lynda had a great time trying to retrieve it.
