Enjoy all the splashes and sightseeing of a 1-hour tour, plus lunch and a ride on the second-largest river in the country. Start your 40-mile journey on the Willamette, soak in Portland’s scenery, then head north to the mighty Columbia River.

Halfway through, stop for a meal at The Deck, a floating restaurant serving casual fare in a one-of-a-kind setting. On clear days — which are most common in summer — you’ll even catch a stunning view of Mount St. Helens in the distance.
