When the weather warms up and the rivers swell, there's no better way to cool off and explore the Walla Walla Valley and the surrounding Blue Mountains than by heading straight for the water.

At Outside Walla Walla, we’re passionate about getting folks outdoors and into the wild beauty of our region—so we’ve paddled, floated, and splashed our way through some of the best local water adventures, and we’re here to help you do the same.

Whether you're new to kayaking or a seasoned paddleboard pro, there’s a water experience waiting for you. Here’s a guide to some of our favorite places and ways to enjoy water sports throughout southeast Washington and northeast Oregon.
