7 Fun River Things to Do Since Boat Races are Canceled

Total bummer that the 2021 Water Follies have been canceled. But there are so many other things to do down by the mighty Columbia River.

**Hunt for stolen vehicles that have been rolled into the river like this one.

**Try paddleboarding. First-timers are hilarious. (Be sure to post the video!)

**Buy 100 cans of Flex Seal and see if you really can make a screen door into a boat.

** Put a can of compressed air in your swim trunks and wade waist-deep. You know what to do from there.

**The new beach at Columbia Point is fun. So are remote-controlled shark fins.

**Hang out at the Columbia Park boat launch warning everyone that they're gonna need a bigger boat.

**Set up your camp table, chairs, and giant cooler and wait for someone to tell you the boat races have been canceled. Then act like THEY'RE THE CRAZY ONE.
