How do I sign-up for the free 1 hour paddle and what is included? RSVP by March 23. 

You can RSVP HERE by March 23 or send an email to info@columbiariverkayaking.com.  Please note that you must arrive by 1:30 pm to participate in the paddle and we will use double kayaks for safety reasons.

CRK will provide guides and gear including a double kayak, paddle, PFD and spray skirt. We can also supply you with pogies, a wetsuit and a paddle jacket upon request. You should plan to bring a water bottle and wear warm non-cotton layers, wool or fleece socks or booties, and have a paddle or rain jacket available. 

How long has CRK been in business?

CRK was started in 2007, when several guides who had been leading kayak tours in the area since 1998, came together to form an LLC and Columbia River Kayaking was born. Two of the current owners and guides, Andrew and Levi, are founding members. Owner, guide and coach, Kyleen, joined CRK in 2014. CRK guides are wilderness first responders with a passion for local natural history and specialize in taking groups out on the lower Colubmia River.

Can I try out different kayaks at the Open House? 

We are happy to make an appointment with you to try out different kayaks. Unfortunately, there won’t be enough time to do so at this event.  

Do you sell kayaks?

We do not sell kayaks. When you book a trip with CRK all of your gear is included. CRK takes pride in our fleet of kayaks which include Wilderness Systems, Necky, Eddyline, and others. Rest assured we will outfit you with a great boat, paddle and matching spray skirt for any size, including plus sizes.

We hope to see you there!
