Our Story
Hello there,
We are the Hurley Family. JO Paddle has been a family business since its inception in 2018. The Nichols Family first envisioned the business and began operations in August 2018. In mid-2020, the Shoffner Family took over the business, and developed and expanded it with their creative vision into the experience it is today.
As of January 2025, we are privileged to take the reins and continue the legacy of JO Paddle. Like the Shoffners and Nichols before us, we share a deep love and appreciation for Wallowa County, where Matthew’s family has lived for over 25 years. Our vision is to share the peace and beauty that makes this place special with visitors, along with the tight-knit community of other families and businesses that call Wallowa County home.
Wallowa County is one of a kind, offering majestic views, wilderness trails, rural small-town pace of life, and a sense of belonging. Whether you are a short-term visitor or a returning traveler who just fell in love with Wallowa County, we think you would agree—there is just something about this amazing place and the memories that it offers.
We hope you enjoy your Glacier Clear Adventure as much as we enjoy offering such a unique experience to you. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Have a Beautiful Day!
