14th Annual Columbia Slough Regatta
Attention boating enthusiasts! The Columbia Slough Watershed Council is gearing up for the 14th Annual Small Craft Regatta! This annual celebration of the Columbia Slough is the largest one-day paddle in Oregon. Last year the Regatta attracted more than 480 paddlers and over 300 boats to paddle on the Slough, the “hidden gem” of our local waterways.
Bring your own watercraft and safety equipment.
All complimentary canoe and kayak rentals have been reserved. There will be a first come, first served wait list on the day of the event. There usually tend to be some no-shows on the day of the event so we welcome you to come and get on the waitlist.
A variety of wildlife including Great Blue Herons, Bald Eagles, Beaver, Raccoon and River Otter are commonly seen among the large cottonwood woodland at Big-Four Corners natural area. The Columbia Slough provides safe slack water paddling appropriate for all skill levels.
