Duathlon Orienteering (Kayak Run) at Lacamas Lake Park
Jun 06 2010

This year's event will take place at the east end of Lacamas Lake where it merges with Round Lake and Lacamas Park. This is our best kayak/canoe venue ever. At Lacamas Lake, we have everything. Nice calm flat water (no dangerous currents or waves). THERE IS A CANOE AND KAYAK RENTAL AT THE LAKE - operated by the River Trails Company! It has beautiful terrain for both boating and running. We will set up a 10 control water route, and 10 control sprint land route with a transition area in-between. Do just one leg or both as a duathlon.

Boat Rentals: The River Trails Company has a kayak/canoe rental right at the Lake. The rental area is located at the Lacamas Lake Public Boat Launch near the Start. They are located on NE Lake Road about 100 meters east of Everett Street (just east of the Everett Street bridge). Renters will have to pick up their boats at the rental and paddle a short distance to the start. Maps to the start will be left at the rental.

Best of all, the rental company will offer special low rates to orienteers. ( http://rivertrailstroutdale.com) They have both single person kayaks and canoes. Contact them directly via RiverBarron@comcast.net or let me know and I can forward a list to them. They seem to have plenty of boats.

Directions: Portland (Center of City): 1) Drive east on I-84 toward The Dalles about 7 miles. 2) Follow I-205 North toward Seattle and cross the big river. 3) Just over the river exit onto SR-14 and go east about 5 miles to Camas, WA. 4) Exit SR 14 on the Camas business loop (6th Street) - Exit #12 5) Go past the paper mill on 6th Street. 6) Turn left on NE Dallas and go uphill. 7) At the top of the hill turn right onto NE 14th. 8) Go one block and turn left onto Everett Street. 9) Go about 1/2 a mile and you will see the Lake on both sides. 10) Cross a bridge and turn right on NE 35th.
