Experience Lewis and Clark just like they did—by boat! Kayaking among the sloughs and islands between Skamokawa and Cathlamet is one of the epic adventures along the Lewis and Clark Water Trail. At Skamokawa Resort, you will not only find kayak rentals, but accommodations, dining, and a general store.
When the Expedition paddled up the Columbia River in 1806, they took the wrong channel:
not paying much attention we mistook our rout which an Indian perceiving pursued overtook us and put us in the wright channel. this Cathlahmah claimed the small canoe which we had taken from the Clatsops. however he consented very willingly to take an Elk‘s skin for it which I directed should be given him and he immediately returned.
Today, you don’t have to paddle the sloughs on your own. The Skamokawa Resort will provide all the gear you need with a world class tour guide.
