Who Are We?
eNRG Kayaking is one of the premier paddling schools in the Pacific Northwest. We operate comprehensive paddling programs, guided tours, and rentals across Oregon on Rafts, Kayaks, Stand-Up Paddleboards, Tubes, and Canoes.
Founded by extreme kayak champion Sam Drevo as an evolution of the Lewis & Clark College Paddling Club, our staff consists of Olympic champions, river rescue experts, ACA instructor trainers, and dedicated river mentors.
In 2011, we opened our on-water headquarters in Oregon City at the confluence of the Clackamas and Willamette Rivers, pioneering our signature Willamette Falls Kayak Tour. Our flatwater options are complemented by our dedicated whitewater outposts on the North Santiam River in Mill City and Gates.
