One of the things that are the most pleasing about Oregon is the number of places that are readily available in case anyone wishes to venture out for paddling in flat waters. The best part, though, is the diversity of flat-water paddling options that are available – ranging from the huge wetlands to dunes and marshlands. The thing about flat–water is that it does not need one to be an expert in order to paddle in these waters. You can simply glide around in the water and feel the bliss of being surrounded by nature from all sides. Best 5…

At times, it seems that I get more fish using a kayak within just a few meters than I get when revolving around a whole lake using a…
