3. Paddle Boarding Oregon, USA
Heat Score – 79
Located in the heart of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Oregon boasts a large collection of bodies of water and a myriad of environmental conditions to accompany them. Sun, wind, rain (so much rain!), Oregon’s topography manages to pull them all together some days, and sometimes all at the same time! What this means to a paddler is that flexibility in destinations, and knowing where the hidden gems are located, can make the difference between a picturesque day paddle and a grueling seven mile upwind grind back to your vehicle. Luckily, there’s plenty of hidden gems in Oregon as well as awesome hot spots in plain sight to choose from for much of the year. Just prepare to be rained on too. Read more HERE.
