Fall canoe tours offered in the delta


NOTE: On September 13, the state parks announced that they were postponing the Fall Canoe trips (below) until Spring of 2011.

California State Parks is again offering guided canoe tours of the Delta area in Central California. Explore one of the few remaining natural islands in the Delta on canoe tours of the Delta Meadows River Park area, which is located near the towns of Locke and Walnut Grove, about 28 miles south of Sacramento.


Learn a few basic canoeing skills, and then explore the area looking for otter, beaver, muskrat, birds, and other wildlife.

The 2010 fall tour season will run from September 18 until October 30. One tour is offered each Saturday, at 10 a.m. Tours last between two and three hours.
These tours fill up quickly, so call the Brannan Island State Recreation Area at (916) 777-7701 for reservations now. There is a $20 fee for each tour.
