Ridgefield, WA – This summer, the Ridgefield Waterfront becomes more than just a scenic escape – it becomes a gateway to adventure. Imagine gliding across the water in unison with a crew of paddlers, the sound of splashing oars, the sunset on Lake River, and the unmistakable energy of something new.
