Demo Day with Alder Creek! (Washougal River)
2025-11-29 10:00 - 16:00 | Oregon
OKCC is excited to partner up with Alder Creek Kayak & Canoe for an exclusive Demo Day on the river! Want to try out a different boat before you take the plunge? Now's your chance! Boats available: Pyranha: Most models. Jackson: Antix 3, Flow, Clutch. Liquid Logic: Sweet Ride and RMX.
Alder Creek will be providing demo boats for up to 10 current OKCC members. You must sign up on Alder Creek's website to reserve your spot. To sign up, use this link: River Days OKCC
Boaters are expected to provide their own gear (other than the boat and float bags). This includes a skirt, properly fitted whitewater helmet & PFD, whistle, and appropriate immersion gear and footwear. You must be a competent paddler with the skill required for the run. As this is a joint Alder-OKCC event, waivers for both the club and Alder Creek must be signed.
