World’s Largest Paddle

The world’s largest paddle is in Parson, near the town of Golden, British Columbia, Canada. The huge wooden paddle, the brainchild of retired sailor Mark Teasdale, was crafted from a trunk of Western Red Cedar wood. It has a length of 18.57 metres (60.9 ft.), a height of 2.8 metres (9.2 ft.), and weighs 2404 kg (5300 lbs.). Paddle's blade is made of laminated veneer lumber, and the whole sculpture is finished with high-quality wood varnish to give it a glowing finish.

Installed in late 2013 on Highway 95 near the Columbia River in the Columbia River Valley, it is a popular roadside attraction.
