Often overshadowed by the neighboring national parks, the World’s Largest Paddle is just a short side trip away from the Trans-Canada highway. The paddle comes in at 60-feet long and 9-feet high, weighing in total an impressive 5,300 pounds. The paddle was also labeled by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest. 

Constructed by a local business owner and his associates, it took approximately 200 hours to build. The paddle was crafted using a single Western red cedar log. The goal behind constructing such a large paddle was to increase tourism to the area, while raising awareness about activities along the Columbia River.
