Visitor's Reference Guide

California's premier leisure canoeing destination. Just north of San Francisco.

When To Come - River Flow
April through October (7 months)
The river is slow-moving and safe during the canoeing season. If coming with children try to plan your trip in the mid-May through mid-September period. The shoulder periods of the season are excellent for the outdoor adventurers.
November through March (5 months)
During the winter the river rises, increases flow and hides branches and other snares. We do not advise canoeing the river during the winter unless you are experienced.

2) The Two Car Relay: Drive with someone to the pickup point, have them leave their car there and travel with you to the drop off point.
