8/10/2024 - Columbia River, Kelly Point Park, Portland, OR

Time: 3.93 hours

Distance: 13.1 miles

We put into the Columbia River at Kelly Point Park and paddle around Hayden Island starting on the south side then around the north. The day was in the mid-70s with a light breeze most of the trip. There was some river traffic but not too bad for such a nice day.
