Boardman River Experience

BOARDMAN RIVER EXPERIENCE

13 – 17 yr olds must be accompanied by an adult.

Experience the Boardman River for the first time in 100 years. This paddle will take you through the old Sabin Dam site which now includes two light rapids, followed immediately by a slow water paddle through a spectacular cedar forest bursting with wildlife.

Paddling experience is necessary for this fun and lively paddle. This 90 minute experience begins at Jack’s Landing within the Natural Education Reserve. As with all our rapids experiences, you may get soaked… so dress appropriately.
