Yaquina River

We haven't been doing much kayaking lately, so we thought we would go down to one of the port of Toledo parks and go for a spin on the Yaquina river. We had found this park on the bay road a few months back, and hadn't gotten to check it out to the fullest as of yet.

The building of the park was funded by state parks, so you know it has to be cool.
It was still VERY tidal, even though we were much closer to Toledo than Newport. It reminded me a lot of the Alsea, but I don't remember the Alsea water being so brown.

There were tons of log formations all around (they have to be old dock and such). It kinda creeps me out for some reason.

The tide had pushed us up the river a good distance, and we had to paddle down the river in order to get back to the boat launch. It was way harder than I had imagined. We made it back to the dock, but decided against paddling against the strong current toward the ocean.... I don't think we wouldn't have gotten very far. But fun for a Saturday; Jered even made it to work on time!
