6600 SW Macadam Ave., 503-459-4050, portlandkayak.com. Closed Tuesday.

It's so close to the river there's no need to hop or skip. Just rent a canoe, kayak or a standup board, walk over to the nearby Willamette Park boat launch, and take off paddling, bird- and people-watching. Rentals are per hour.
