We just did the full moon paddle and it was awesome! Even a friendly beaver joined us as we paddled down to the beach. It was a hot day but the water was just perfect! Highly recommend it! Thanks Ridgefield Kayak and Linda too!

Thank you for the friendly service today. While kayaking on Lake River we stopped to enjoy the sun on the beach. We were able to watch a deer swim across the river and come out on the beach near us. We also had exactly 30 bird species on our trip.

Thank you so much for a wonderful morning of kayaking. Linda, you are a great teacher! We'll be back.

Basic Class was great. I learned a lot! I was given a lot of great information over the course of 3 hours. Demonstrations and discussions all while paddling up and down Lake River. The entry and exit (always the scariest for me) made me feel more confident. There was so much information packed into three hours and for that I must thank our instructor/guide Linda. She did a fantastic job. Take the class, you will get more than you thought!

Thank you Ridgefield Kayak for a very enjoyable guided kayak outing. Many of us were 1st time beginners and your experienced staff took care of all of the details from kayak instructions for 1st timers to paddling with a group and providing a great campfire and marshmallow roast for all of us. We saw to Bald Eagles and even saw the full moon rise as we paddled on the quiet waters. Thank-you for a wonderful experience.
Felipe Madrigal Sr. - Sunday, June 27th, 2010 6:34 PM PDT
Lots of fun!! I hope to see you again soon.
Linda - Saturday, June 12th, 2010 6:14 PM PDT
The sun finally came out and we had a wonderful paddle around bachelor island. If you have some kayaking experience, this is a great trip. We saw eagles, osprey, kingfishers, purple martins, great blue herons, and many more.

The day before Mother's Day we were privileged to take 16 people from our church, Mountain View Christian Center, on a fabulous Mother/Father and Daughter/Son Kayak trip that was absolutely fabulous. The help at Ridgefield Kayak was outstanding and we were treated with such professional yet friendly service. Thanks you guys! We hope to come kayaking again soon!

Went out this morning for 3 hours. awesome weather and water was SO smooth. Birded along the way and saw 34 species of birds. What a trip!!! Great way to see so many bird species. Many nesting bird of prey species.

We experienced a kayakers heaven this past Sun. when 13 of us paddled from Cathlamet to Skamokawa. I am sure we will see this trip on our options for next year. It was UNBELIEVABLE!!
Lenora - Tuesday, September 8th, 2009 12:00 PM PDT
Went out on a lark with my sister for her birthday on August 19th. The two young men on staff that day were absolutely wonderful. Had us ready to go within 20 minutes and checked us back in just as speedily. Bonus, they didn't even roll their eyes at the two 'old' women.
Richard Paz - Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 2:53 PM PDT
Looking forward to our planned paddle in Sept. This will be my grandkids first paddle. Thanks again for all the great times we had with you. See you on facebook soon.
Susanne Hutton - Sunday, August 23rd, 2009 7:11 PM PDT
We had a great time on our very first kayaking trip...Great guide, great scenery...we are hooked and we'll be back!
Susan Kate Perry - Wednesday, August 5th, 2009 8:17 PM PDT
Before this day ends, I want to thank you from the bottom of my grateful heart for the kayaking experience enjoyed by my family and me today. Your warm welcome and calm way inspired confidence in the "first-timers" among us. We will remember this day, and will definitely return to visit you and your river again. Sincerely, Susan,Colleen and Greg, Karen and Butch, Mandy and Jan, Megan, Barb, Carrie, and Justin.

we went on the Lewis river, Bald Eagle trip on Saturday...overweight and out of shape!! It was a wonderful way to spend my fiftieth birthday!!!My arms are reminding me of what i did but I cant tell you how much we enjoyed it!!!
Linda - Thursday, July 16th, 2009 11:20 AM PDT
What a great time we had in our group rescue class last Sun. We had 12 ladies 3 guides and some volunteer assistants in the class. I think everyone learned a lot and now feel much more confident paddling. A class I recommend for anyone who loves to paddle.
Tim - Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 8:26 AM PDT
Thanks for everything. We had a blast on Saturday. We'll be back with friends and friends of friends for fun floats with you guys. It was a great way to stay cool on a hot July 4th.
Deanna - Sunday, July 5th, 2009 6:45 PM PDT
My fiance and I rented kayaks from here this past weekend and had outstanding service. The staff is so sweet and helpful. I would recommend renting kayaks from here.

I can't sing enough good praises about Ridgefield Kayak. Last summer I bought a month long pass. It was the highlight of my summer vacation and has been my cherished memory throughout this year. I can't wait to do it again. Kayaking the refuge is not only stress relieving, it builds your strength and increases your stamina. Ridgefield Kayak, LLC is like a gift that I hope never goes away. The staff is courteous and helpful. You are made to feel as if you are borrowing a friend's kayak for the day to explore some of the most beautiful scenery and wildlife possible. I tell all my friends about Ridgefield Kayak. Give it a try. You'll be hooked.

I escaped from work early enough today to paddle in the Ridgefield wildlife reserve. It was an amazing experience. We saw eagles, sandhill cranes, Canadian geese, a flicker, and a couple Osprey. You could even smell the sweet cottonwood trees. Can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon.
Rachel - Tuesday, April 7th, 2009 8:35 PM PDT
I just wanted to drop a line and tell you how much fun Alicia and I had on our paddle yesterday. We even saw 2 (what looked like) bald eagles perched up in the trees. We were very pleased with the boats, the pre-paddle tutorial, and of course the river. Thanks so much and I'm sure we will be coming back as the weather keeps warming up.
Ridgefield Kayak - Tuesday, February 24th, 2009 2:16 PM PST
Guides and volunteer staff jump started the season @ the Marshall Pool with a fun packed session of wet exits and rescues. We are ready to paddle.
Richard Paz - Tuesday, February 17th, 2009 3:49 PM PST
Roma and I had some real fun times this last year and we are looking forward to some more trips this.My grandkids from Calif. had a blast out on the river.Thank you again. Richard, Vancouver, Wa.

What a wonderful experience to rent from Ridgefield Kayak! It's just the best setup around - great boats, great staff, great waterway - what's not to love? I'll be back.....
Suzanne Day - Sunday, September 28th, 2008 5:41 PM PDT
We enjoyed our very first kayak experience from your boat house. We had a blast!
Thank you for all the support and encourgement. We found it very easy to do, especially from two tomboys now grandmothers! We are ready to play so more.

Heartfelt thanks to everyone at Ridgefield Kayak for their terrific assistance with our Sierra Club kayak outings the past two years. Because they're there, we've been able to get a lot of new people in a kayak and on the water! You're terrific!!
Brett Lovins - Wednesday, September 24th, 2008 4:33 PM PDT

Barb Franz - Wednesday, May 28th, 2008 7:26 PM PDT
Thanks so much for an incredible three paddles. My very first paddle, with Donna, was enough to wet my whistle. The Lake River paddle was another memorable experience, as was the Mother's Day paddle. Both days were full of once in a life time experiences with unique wild life and awesome smooth as glass water. Even though I have only paddled a whopping total of 3 times, I am totally hooked. You will all have to put up with me because I plan to keep on paddling. Thanks again for 3 awesome paddles.
Linda - Sunday, May 25th, 2008 9:25 PM PDT
The Lake River paddle from Filida to Ridgefield was absolutely amazing. This paddle and Bachelor Island are my favorite!!
virginia Johnson (Ginny) - Tuesday, May 20th, 2008 5:50 PM PDT
Thank you for all the times you rented boats for me and my friends and family. They will still be renting. You provide a great experience that can be had nowhere else that I know. We still talk about last year's full moon ride. That was majic.
Your website is lovely.
Ginny.
Kristrun - Thursday, May 1st, 2008 7:58 PM PDT
Hope to be back in the boat again and hope to see ya all soon.
Linda - Friday, April 25th, 2008 11:11 PM PDT
I did a practice paddle from Filida up to Salmon Creek today. Nice to have a sunny day for a change. It was great to be on the water and what a treat -- we paddled right under a pair of bald eagles sitting on a branch!! It was amazing!!!
Jo Ann Brown - Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008 7:31 PM PDT
I was so excited to meet you today at the Legacy Clinic in NW. I came home & told my husband about our visit in the Dr.'s office. He was so excited that I would be interested in Kayaking. We are definitely signing up for a class. I might even sign up my son-in-law & daughter for a class.
Marylyn - Thursday, April 17th, 2008 5:43 AM PDT
Donna and I paddled the Lewis River on Saturday and it was fabulous. 78 degrees and virtually no river traffic. Had lunch on the beach looking at the lighthouse, basking in the sun. A PERFECT way to spend the first glorious spring day.
Mary Hitt - Sunday, April 13th, 2008 8:07 AM PDT
April 10th, 71degrees, first spring day and beautiful! Monica George and I went out for an evening paddle and had a wonderful tiime. It felt like a summer evening in August. As always, love the area and the incredible selection of birds.
Michael Hebert - Saturday, April 12th, 2008 9:22 AM PDT
Went Kayaking for the first time on April 4th with Ridgefield Kayaks. Such a great time,, I am going back today!!
Monica George - Sunday, April 6th, 2008 4:47 PM PDT
Mary Hitt and I were out paddling on March 29th, when we suddenly got caught in a hailstorm on the way back! It was a wild experience and we absolutely loved it!
Maureen Friedman - Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 11:22 AM PDT
Your website is most helpful for a first time kayaker. Love the improvements!
Linda - Monday, March 24th, 2008 6:36 PM PDT
What a great time to be on the water. On our way back from St. Helens we saw 2 baby Blue Heron flying. The beaver are also busying themselves along the river. It is warm enough for kayakers but not warm enough for waterskiers so it is quiet and peaceful!!
Gail Alexander - Monday, March 24th, 2008 1:12 PM PDT
Great business profile written by the Columbian on 3/22/08. Many thanks of appreciation.
Donna - Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 9:19 AM PDT
Who says kayaking's only a summer activity? We paddled to St.Helen's for brunch yesterday and it was fabulous!
