The future is NOW for our tidal slough, a Gold Rush-era “saltwater highway.” On this gentle guided paddle, explore its past, be part of its revival, and meet the individuals and organizations who are reclaiming the river. See their work firsthand and experience the lasting benefits for all, on “Petaluma’s Longest Park”.

The Petaluma River is 13 miles long from Basin to Bay, but we’ll be paddling about two miles total. Journey through time and be part of the story.
