Activity Title:
Deschutes River Arm Photo Excursion L1 (Lake Billy Chinook event)
Date of Activity:
5/18/2024
Narrative:
This is a photo expedition - in a boat!
This is level one, and we'll stop frequently for photo opportunities. We'll launch at the Upper Deschutes boat launch, then paddle up to a scenic narrow area, stopping before we experience any current.
We'll launch from the Deschutes boat ramp, then paddle south along the shore.
Don't expect to make a lot of miles. This trip is a maximum of six miles, but we will likely paddle fewer miles than that. More photos:fewer miles
