River Runner Blog
A lot of the content we develop is for members only and shared through our newsletter Cascade Currents. If you haven’t already joined, we strongly encourage you to become a member of the Lower Columbia Canoe Club!
Our emphasis on safety and knowledge of local runs are defining characteristics of the LCCC. As such, we’ll occasionally post safety articles that originally ran in Cascade Currents, or trip reports on local runs, here on our Blog.
