In April of 2009, Columbia River Kayaking took over running the paddle center in Skamokawa. We will be open 7 days a week, from 10AM to 4 PM, from Memorial Day weekend through mid September, and by appointment at any other time. Rentals and beginner level tours will be available as in the past.
Beginner's Tours will be offered every Saturday and Sunday throughout the summer, with each day's trip being different according to what the tide is doing. If you are interested in a specific trip, let us know and we will find a date that matches, or pick the date and we will tell you what tour is scheduled for that day. We will have a calendar of these tours posted soon; in the meantime, call or email.
We will also continue to do custom tours for groups as well. We have been taking groups of all kinds on kayak tours for years, including the Boy Scouts, school groups, church groups, college classes, even members of the 3/2 Stryker Brigade of the US Army. Please call us or email for more information about custom tours and group events.
For those who would like to get out on the water, but don't want to get in a kayak or a canoe, we have added a rowing dinghy to our rental fleet. The dinghy will be restricted to use in the creeks and sloughs, but there are literally miles of calm water available for you to explore by rowboat. Come and check it out!
We have also started a discount plan for local residents. Show us your ID with a Wahkiakum County address on it, and we will take 15% off of the cost of your rental or tour.
