What we’re about

The Oregon Washington Kayaking Adventurers (OWKA) is for kayakers in the greater Willamette Valley, Southern Washington and surrounding areas to get together for day trips, overnight trips and social events. Trips are for beginners through expert and people of all abilities.

We may have opportunities to learn the basic skills to be a safe and competent paddler. However, we suggest that you sign up for classes with professionals to learn the more advanced skills that will give you greater enjoyment and a greater margin of safety.

We try to provide fabulous opportunities for exploring the amazing, natural areas we have here by water.

We like to share experiences, routes, knowledge and, perhaps even gear. We have a passion for kayaking and all paddlesports.

We are not guides or kayaking professionals, so please remember you are responsible for your own safety. We're here to have fun, just like you.
