kayaking on Scappoose Bay

We went kayaking this week on Scappoose Bay, along Hwy 30 north of Portland. We arrived early at Next Adventure's paddling center and got out on the water in two kayaks - Sebastian piloting his own, and Liesl and I in a tandem. It was a beautiful morning and the bay was perfect - flat water, little current, no boat traffic, lots of birds to see, and a shady creek to paddle along. We had a lot of fun steering in and out of grassy paths and exploring the inlets.

We stayed out for a few hours, but finally got tired and hungry enough to return the boats and eat lunch. But we'll definitely return - it was a great place to kayak locally.
