5/20/2023 - Lake River/Bachelor Island Slough/Columbia River, Ridgefield Boat Ramp, Ridgefield, WA

Time: 2.93 hours

Distance: 9.26 miles

We put into Lake River from the Ridgefiled Boat Ramp, paddled down river the short distance to the Bachelor Island Slout, up-river on the Slough to the Columbia River, down-river on the Columbia back to Lake River then back to the launch. The first truly nice day we've had this season. Winds and river traffic were both fairly light. A very nice paddle.
