Tualatin River Discovery Day 2025 (age 5+) Referral
Join us for the event most associated with the long history of Tualatin Riverkeepers, as we paddle from King City Community Park to Tualatin Community Park. The first Tualatin River Discovery Day was organized to raise awareness of the Tualatin River, its wildlife and the health of the water, environment and people. Tualatin Riverkeepers is proud that this tradition has continued on, giving thousands of paddlers a chance to explore the Tualatin River.
This self-guided 3.8-mile paddle hosted by Tualatin Riverkeepers includes the Tualatin Tales guidebook which highlights wildlife and history specific to this section of the river.
Volunteer safety boats will be stationed along the route to ensure a safe event. Boats will launch from 8:45am to 11:30am and participants will paddle downriver. Bathrooms, refreshments, and representatives from our sponsoring organizations will be there to greet you at the takeout site.
Tualatin Riverkeepers will provide a complimentary shuttle to start the trip from the parking area at Tualatin Community Park to the launch site at King City Park. There are many parking lots located in Tualatin Community Park.
This paddle trip is designed for first time paddlers, families with children, experienced paddlers – everyone is welcome. Participants can rent a canoe, single kayak, or double kayak (including life jackets and paddles) for $40 or may bring their own for no cost.
Discovery Day sells out every year. Reserve your launch time today!
Event volunteers are needed for a variety of volunteer roles.
