Ceyana Canoe Club
Leila is keen to paddle White Swan Lake, and the Columbia River in the upper Columbia River valley. The plan is day trips determined by the group and weather conditions. Car camping will be at the Fairmont Hot Springs Resort campground. The Columbia river through here is a well know wildlife preserve, and the paddling is easy. Winds on the lakes, and log jams and sweepers on the river are the primary hazards. Good flatwater and basic river skills should see you through this weekend. This is a good paddle for either canoes or kayaks. This should be a relaxing weekend with good scenic and wildlife viewing. Participants should book soon for camping, it is a popular site, and it is now (Mar. 16) open for booking. Please note that Leila is planning on driving Thursday and Sunday, paddling on Friday and Saturday, it is a nearly 7 hr drive.
