Start at the Port of Ridgefield and kayak your way down Lake River to Saint Helens, Oregon. At one point, you will come to the confluence of the Lake River and the Columbia River. Be prepared for the Columbia’s current. Along the Lake River, there will be a plethora of handcrafted birdhouses attached to wooden poles. The houses are intricate in design. You will see the cartoon cat, Sylvester; the Bates Motel; Yosemite Sam; a golf cart, etc. #kayaking #columbiariver #outdoors #oregon #washington
