8/29/2026 - Columbia River, Henry J. Kaiser Memorial Shipyard, Vancouver, WA

Time: 2.5 hours

Distance:  7.86 miles

 

We put into the Columbia River from Henry J. Kaiser Memorial Shipyard in Vancouver WA and paddled up-river to the I205 bridge before turning back. The day was warm and sunny with light winds and very few boats. We hit a bit of rough water on the way back but nothing too extreme. Another beautiful day on the water.
