Stopped in today to rent a kayak. On line rental was listed for $50.00 for 2 hours for a Tandem…read moreKayak. The rental location (Ridgefield, Washington) quoted me as $150.00 for 2 hours. I explained to worker the price discrepancy and asked why the difference. He stated "oh, that was for our Oregon location and Washington charges sales tax. If you don't know, just tell the customer you don't know why the rate is different. Don't make up stuff, especially some asinine excuse about sales tax. So the tax would be $100.00 even? (I give him an A for effort, but an F for intelligence) Anyhow, my advice is book online. I am leery of actually renting now since I can imagine the bait and switch that will occur when they list the rental for $50.00 but charge you $150.00. Anyhow, I won't be back. Not worth the hassle of teenagers handling this operation. Renter beware...

Super easy to rent a canoe from Canoe Dude in Ocean Shores. We arrived at the boat launch and he…read morewas there with everything we needed to head out on the canals. I was worried the canoe might tip but it is super sturdy and we had so much fun. We saw alot of cool wildlife, dear, blue herons and tons of fish jumping.

It was just so easy, when we got back to the docks, he was waiting for us and we didn't have to do anything. he took care of everything for us. will definately book again.

Nehalem Bay is an easy entry level with enough wildlife to keep the "oohs" a coming. Harbor Seals, Bald Eagles, Cranes, and several other birds (I can't remember their names-oops) What a great way to spend a morning. In fact, it was the highlight of the entire trip. We all agreed we should've booked more trips for the week. Guess we'll just have to visit again. Not that Josh isn't absolutely charming all on his own, but bringing his wiener dog along, made us all have hearts in our eyes. Great Job in helping us create some fantastic memories.

This is really nice straight forward launch area for kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding and other…read moresmall boats. They have good parking, nice restrooms, picnic tables and very much nestled in with nature. The launch point is a bit challenging with not much room down by the water, with the river flow and depth constantly changing I am sure it can be a bit of a challenge for construction. Maybe they can figure out how to secure a good floating dock at some point. The water and natural landscape along the Tualatin River is some of the best. Go north to Rood Bridge park, but around there is a stop because of a damn. So South and you can go miles towards Tigard then Tualatin. Always lots of friendly folks on the water. Best part no motor boats. If you are looking for a great place to paddle, this is a good place to put in. When done and hungry you can swing around the he corner for great burgers at Cruisin' Diner. It would be a five star if the launch point was better.
