Experience Hanford first-hand on our annual guided paddle tours of the Columbia River's Hanford Reach.
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/campsite in the evening and enjoy dinner and guaranteed good times with fellow river supporters. The following 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 an overview of Hanford's history, contamination, and clean-up efforts associated with the Hanford Nuclear Site.
Don't miss the opportunity to join fellow river supporters on one of these popular paddle trips. Rental equipment (boat, PFD, paddle, etc.) can be supplied if necessary and all meals and beverages are provided by Riverkeeper. We hope you will join us on our next trip!
