13th Annual Columbia Slough Regatta
Sunday, July 29th from 9am-1pm
The Columbia Slough Watershed Council presents the 13th Annual Columbia Slough Regatta! This annual celebration of the slough is the largest one-day paddle in Oregon. Last year the Regatta attracted more than 250 boats and over 500 paddlers who joined us to paddle on the Columbia Slough, the "hidden gem" of local waterways.
The Multnomah County Drainage District is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year and will host the Regatta! Paddlers can expect to see a variety of wildlife including Great Blue Herons, Bald Eagles, Beaver, Raccoon and River Otter. The easy canoe access at the Multnomah County Drainage District provides safe slack water paddling appropriate for all skill levels.
