It was so hot! I wish I had a walk-in icebox in my kitchen. What to do, what to do? I wanted to jump in a stream and fly fish, but it was too late. But then, I thought of an item on my To-Do List: kayaking. Yes, props has to be given to fellow Yelpers Soyon K. & Chris F., for putting this business on my radar. I've generally stayed away from the river during the summer like the plague---too crowded, noisy (& hella annoying) jet skiers, and much better options a short drive away. But I had to cool off...and get a work out. I went for two hours for $30, which included all the equipment you'd need and a bottle of water. This was all I could go for since they were only open for two hours. I put in at Howard Amon Park. Now, I've never kayaked before. I had hopes of going all over the place in two hours: paddle up to the Hanford Reach, kayaking up the Yakima, etc. I obviously don't know my abilities very well. The person helping me out suggested something a little less ambitious. I ended up paddling upriver to an island off of Leslie Grove Park--she said some people can't even make it there! This scared me, so I pointed my kayak upward and toward the island. Oh yeah, it's a good workout---remember, use your whole body to paddle or your shoulders will explode! I braved a few waves from boats, and a little bit of slimy plant life, but I managed to make it to the island in: 25min! Jeez, so now I had some time to kill. I ended up paddling around the island (tried to feed some snacks to a flock of Canadian geese, but they raised their noses at me). I then beached and had a bite & drink on the island. I then went down river. Now I would have thought going downriver would have been easier, but it didn't really seem so. Whenever you paddle it's a workout--regardless of water flow. So yeah, such a cool summer activity option. The staff person was super nice, and made everything really easy. I would definitely do it again. This would be a great date activity. Maybe I should take a class though. I don't know what I'd do if I flipped my kayak over--yeah, wouldn't want that to happen on a first date!

Then, I came across Chrome Rangers NW Fishing adventures. Cory Griffin, the owner/Captain, is quite the humble, compassionate, and very professional man. He's got an amazing sense of sense of humor which keeps everyone at ease - smiling & laughing. Cory displays prompt, effective, communication; not just in booking, but at each step of the fishing adventure. And an adventure it was on our 10/21/2025 trip. I had my Coho limit by 8am, the rest of the boat limited out by 10am! The Chrome Rangers' NW boat and fishing gear are first-rate, including top line fishing gear, tackle, bait, and knowledge with a Garmin fish & depth finder. Cory shows extensive knowledge as a fishing guide - to include areas, species, and current regulations. Chrome Rangers NW always put the needs of the clients first! Doing whatever it takes to make every trip a success and help each client to catch their limit and make the experience extremely memorable. I will definitely be re-booking with Cory (Chrome Rangers NW). Only next time, I'll be bringing my son, son-in-law, and grandson! Again... Thank You Cory!

This time we pushed off from this marina....well, we didn't really use the dock of the marina, we just threw our kayaks in the agua and hopped in our hoopties. The parking is adequate and the facilities are pretty nice. The water here is fairly protected and away from the main flow of the Columbia; although it is a little slimy and gooey in spots. If you go to the "lagoon to the left, you have some nice still water options. It was interesting to paddle around this patch because every few seconds huge cuts and spashes would happen around you (I assume these must have been bass trying to have me lunch). We wanted to practice flipping ourselves in our crafts and getting back on our rides, so we headed out for the open water of the Columbia. Man, there were plenty of people on the water this day, but we managed to find a good place to dunk ourselves---I didn't really mind since it was hella hot out. There are plenty of put-in options in the Tri-Cities and this is but one, but it was certainly adequate, free, and provided an afternoon of fun.
