Full Name: Sara Spink
Narrative: This is usually a pretty easy 6.8 -7 mile paddle, launching from Scappoose Bay Marina (by Scappoose Bay Next Adventure) heading North down the Multnomah Channel, rounding Warrior point and into the Columbia River for a short distance before arriving at Warrior Rock Lighthouse. We will take a lunch break at the lighthouse area before heading back. There will be opportunities to practice rescues at Warrior Rock for those who wish. Bathrooms are available in Marina Park, right near where we leave our cars. $10 parking fee.
