Mothers Day Kayak Outing

Sat May 7, 2022 9:15 AM - 2:00 PM PDT

Estacada Lake Boat Ramp

Description

Grab your mom or loved one, push off from shore and spend mother’s day discovering a world of calm waters and relaxed paddling. Estacada Lake is a dammed portion of the Clackamas River that is accessible from Milo McIver State Park. This paddle route travels along a forest-lined river that extends through a river canyon with seasonal waterfalls pouring from the sides. It’s not uncommon to spot osprey, eagles and other wildlife from the river. This paddle is great for beginners or those looking for a tranquil paddle on flat water. Although motorized boats are permitted, the paddle has plenty of opportunities for solitude and quiet moments.

Cancellation & Refund Policy:

Inclement weather is in the forecast, should we cancel?

  • The AWL guide has the sole responsibility to cancel a program due to weather conditions. Certain weather conditions are often unavoidable in Oregon. Joining a winter program requires joining our shuttle options or having the proper equipment to drive in winter conditions.

What if we have to cancel the program?

  • To cancel the program, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible and at least 14 days in advance for a full refund (minus transaction fees). If you cancel within 14 days of the trip, then you will forgo 50% of the program cost.

What if we don’t get enough participants?

  • In order to guarantee that the trip will proceed, we must reach the minimum required number of participants at least 7 days in advance. If we do not reach that number by this time, we have the right to cancel the program.

If we need to cancel, how should we notify you?

  • The short answer is, the fastest and most direct way. An email or phone call as soon as you think you may have to cancel is the best option. Even if you're unsure, shoot us an email. It will be very much appreciated.

What if AWL cancels the program?

  • If AWL chooses to cancel a trip due to weather, environmental conditions, or otherwise, you will be given a full refund. Please note, our trips require the minimum number of participants listed above to proceed.

I have other concerns or questions about the cancellation and refund policy, who should I contact?

  • Please contact the Program Director, Cody Bliss, at Cody@awloutdoors.org

1. Review the Essential Eligibility Criteria and Covid Policies
