We love to share all the great hiking trails across the state with you because we feel like the best way to truly experience the beauty of Oregon is to get out there and explore it in person! There's another great way to see Oregon up close, though, and that's by kayak. Oregon's waterways will take you right through some of the prettiest scenery the state has to offer, and even reaches places where hiking trails don't.
Want to explore by kayak but don't have much experience? Take a guided kayak tour with Sky Lakes Wilderness Adventures:
When you're ready for an outdoor adventure, head to Sky Lakes Wilderness Adventures in Chiloquin.
