Paddle to the Sea, our epic paddle-a-thon down the Tuolumne River from Yosemite National Park to San Francisco Bay. There are many options for coming out on the water for a day (or more) including whitewater rafting, canoeing, sailing, sea kayaking, and more. New this year: free sea kayak rentals for the final day in San Francisco Bay courtesy of California Canoe and Kayak, and we are also paddling through the Delta in high performance water craft (surf skis, outriggers, etc.) If folks have questions, please feel free to contact me at our toll-free number: 1-888-994-3344 or email jessie@…

Due to heavy rainfall and expected high flows, we will once again be offering rafts for the first three “canoeing” legs of Paddle to the Sea. On May 14 & 15 you have the option of an easy float down these beautiful stretches Lower T. Canoes also available May 20-24. As always, you are welcome to bring your own boat if you prefer.

Sail or paddle the Delta – June 1-3
This year we will be paddling all the way through the Delta – the largest estuary on the West Coast of the Americas. Join us for three bid days of paddling high performance water craft or bring your sailboat along and join the regatta!

Sail or sea kayak the San Francisco Bay – June 4
A big thank you to our partners at California Canoe and Kayak who have generously donated the use of their sea kayaks, you can now join us on the final legs of Paddle to the Sea whether or not you have your own boat! A very limited number of seats are now available for you to join us on a sailboat accompanying the paddlers across the bay as well.
