Full Moon Paddle
Overview
Join one community to light up your world. Starting with music and potluck snacks at the shop, share time with friends new and old as the sun sets. Then, decorate yourself and/or your boat for a guided glowstick paddle under city lights and celestial skies. Reserve a date and a time for this post-sunset paddle before it books out, $45/person or $20 if you bring your own boat! Full Moon Paddle is a great way to see the locks and the falls through different eyes before or after taking a Willamette Falls Tour. Looking forward to seeing you for a night full of fun.
