Join Columbia Slough Watershed Council and Feminist Bird Club for our annual Pride Paddle on the Columbia Slough! This paddling event is for queer people and allies of all ages. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Participants are welcome to bring their own boat, or reserve a seat in one of ours.

Getting There: We will meet at the boat launch at Kelley Point Park - look out for the Columbia Slough Watershed Council sign. Parking is free, however, limited. Carpooling is recommended! Taking public transportation? Bus #11 drops riders at N Columbia Blvd & N Kelley Point Park Rd, a short walk to the launch area. Please note that service is limited on the weekend.

What to bring: Pack along water, shoes you don't mind getting a little dirty ...and your pride gear of course! If you are bringing your own boat, don't forget your life jacket and paddle. If you are borrowing a seat in one of our boats, make sure to register in advance - space is limited. We will have snacks and cold drinks to share, as well as binoculars for folks who need to borrow throughout the event!

Accessibility: There is no restroom available at the boat launch area, however there is one available further in the park/near the last parking lot. Previous paddling experience is not required. Participants must be able to sit for 1 - 2 hours. There is a low grade incline dirt/gravel hill that leads to the waters edge and our launching area.
