We took the stand up paddleboards out on the Alsea River today in the Waldport area. It was a very nice scenic paddle with a mild current. Because we were close to where the river meets the Ocean the current changed direction depending on the tides. If you time it right that can work in your favor. The only downside is that water temperatures are on the chilly side year round. We would definitely recommend the Alsea River as a destination for SUP users to visit. If you are interested check out any of the marinas in the Waldport area that have launching facilities. A word of caution... if you venture into the Alsea Bay there can be fierce currents during tide change so be safe.
