6/29/2024 - Scappoose Bay, Scappoose, OR

Time: 3.02 hours

Distance: 9.34 miles

 

We put into Scappoose Bay at the boat ramp outside of Scappoose and paddled out and across Multnomah Channel to spend the rest of the trip paddling through the water ways at the end of Sauvie Island. A beautiful day with light clouds, temperatures in the 70s and an intermittent breeze. There were quite a few boats in the Channel but we crossed relatively quickly and found no further water traffic on Sauvie Island waters. A truly spectacular day.

When we got back to the Channel to cross we had to wait for a large barge to pass.
