What Our Adventurers Are Saying

Beautiful day on the water! Loved this spot to launch our kayak and not busy at all. It felt very secluded and peaceful and you couldn’t see or hear the highway either. The cove was protected against the wind which made for an easy paddle and we also explored the stream nearby which was crystal clear. There was also a nice grassy section with a picnic table and porta potty in the parking lot. Highly recommend renting kayaks here or launching your own from this spot. We will definitely be back!!

What a beautiful place I didn't know existed near Cascade Locks to rent kayaks and SUPs. The folks who run it are just great. Come and experience the beauty of the Gorge from the water!

Beautiful spot on the Columbia. Saw wild life and the wind surfers on the water. The grassy landscape is shaded and super pleasant to hang out on shore. Very nice and chill staff. It was quite a busy morning. Matt worked very hard to get everyone suited up and onto the water without much of a wait. We had a great time. Will definitely come back

I rented a kayak for a couple hours here, it was a great deal and I enjoyed my time kayaking here. The crowds were low for a Saturday at 12 pm (I don't know if that is typical here), I also saw some otters.

Super peaceful, calm water. You can paddle up Herman Creek a little and there were some bigger fish swimming upstream. We saw a sturgeon and osprey as well. You can reach out and pick blackberries from the bank. The kayaks are the style you sit up out of the water and have the adjustable, cushioned seat - super comfy and you only get wet from the little drops coming off the paddle. They have single and double options as well as paddleboards. We had our 2 month old out on the water with us. Overall a great spot for a relaxing experience on the water!

I loved talking to the worker Luci such an awesome and thoughtful girl! She helped me to get a great kayak experience after having a very rough day. When I was a kid all I wanted was to kayak but my family couldn’t afford too. But when I heard of this place I was so excited and the warm and welcoming energy that Luci brought made me so happy! Thank you for fulfilling my childhood dreams!

The location was perfect. We were out of the wind and the current on the river. Good place to just hangout on grass and shade.The equipment is new. More importantly, the owners are there and helped us.

We had so much fun on the water. I had never kayaked before and I was a little nervous, but it was so easy and fun. I can’t wait to do it again. I highly recommend spending time in the Gorge in a Kayak! Thanks so much for a fantastic experience.
