About this event

Join us for a scenic paddle on the Nisqually River from Yelm to McKenna, a perfect Class 1+ section with gentle currents and riffles. This 6-mile stretch offers stunning views of forests and farmland, as well as opportunities to spot wildlife like eagles and herons. The trip is suitable for paddlers with some experience on moving water. We’ll meet at the Yelm Hydro Plant to launch and take out at McKenna Park. Plan for about 2–3 hours on the water. Don’t forget to pack water, snacks, and a change of clothes.
