Cabin Fever Chronicles – Getting Outdoors with Rod

The do-not-miss paddling event is this weekend! Alder Creek’s annual Paddle Festival starts Saturday and continues through Sunday!

Alder Creek Festival at Vancouver Lake

Whether you have never paddled or you’ve been doing it for years, in a kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard, whitewater or flatwater, this event is for you. And it’s FREE. There will be representatives from the major paddling industry to answer your questions and give you a chance to try their products on the water. You’ll also be able to take advantage of the many clinics offered, from first strokes to rescues to expeditions.

Both days offer seminars. Saturday’s schedule is set out more on basics, and how to choose a boat, and Sunday more on the water seminars and learning. There will also be guided tours of Vancouver Lake. So head on over!

Location: Vancouver Lake, Vancouver, WA
