Riverkeeper Hanford Reach Paddle Trip

Riverkeeper invites you to join us for an exciting paddle adventure in Eastern Washington touring the landscape and features of the scenic, free-flowing waters of the Columbia River's Hanford Reach. The contrasting environments of Hanford provide for an amazing paddle experience down a historical section of the Columbia River. View the decommissioned nuclear reactors and buildings of the Hanford site as they lay silent amongst the peaceful and pristine landscape of the limited-access reserve. The site offers abundant wildlife viewing and unique birding opportunities.

This overnight adventure starts off with an evening of camping under the stars in the high-desert environment of the Hanford Reach. Arrive at the put-in on Friday evening and enjoy dinner and guaranteed good times with fellow river supporters. Saturday morning will begin with a fresh breakfast followed by an 18-mile paddle down the Reach. Your tour will be guided by Riverkeeper staff sharing a bit about the history, contamination, and clean-up efforts associated with the Hanford Nuclear Site.
