5/11/2024 - Columbia River, Broughton Beach Park, Portland, OR

Time: 2.6 hours

Distance: 8.1 miles

We put into the Columbia River at Broughton Beach Park and paddled up-river to the I205 bridge before turning back. It was a very warm day with temperatures in the high 80s but little wind. There were quite a few boats on the river but they were mostly quite a distance from us so we had no real issues with wake. An beautiful day to paddle.
