Paddle Trip Leaders
Volunteers make kayaking & canoeing the Tualatin River accessible by bringing boats and gear right to the launch site. You don't need to have a boat. You don't need to have a car to paddle the River anymore! Trained leaders teach basic paddle strokes and ensure safety on our slow moving River, SW of Portland.

Tualatin Riverkeepers’ volunteers host monthly guided paddle trips from May through October. Help TRK introduce new paddlers to the Tualatin River. Become a Volunteer Trip Assistant.
