Join Metro, Clean Water Services and other Tree For All partners in celebrating the grand opening of the Farmington Paddle Launch at Tualatin Riverkeepers' 28th Annual Tualatin River Discovery Day. 

This paddle trip is designed for everyone, including first time paddlers, families with children and experienced paddlers. Participants can rent a canoe, single or double kayak (including life jackets and paddles) for $35 or may bring their own for no cost.

Discovery Day sells out every year! Advance registration is required. Reserve your launch time today. 

Have questions? Want to volunteer? Contact Sandra Amolo: 503.218.2580 or sandra@tualatinriverkeepers.org. 

What will my day look like? Event parking and the outdoor celebration are at Groner K-8 school. After a short shuttle ride to Farmington Paddle Launch, you'll spend a couple hours paddling 3.7 miles to Eagle Landing. The shuttle will take you back to Groner K-8 for food, face-painting, henna tattoos, and kids' nature-art activities.
