Sacramento and the surrounding region is well-known for its incredible paddling opportunities. Kayaking, canoeing and other paddle sports have been a long tradition in the area due in part to the abundance of water venues, mild climate and overall recreational nature of the area. Kayaking in particular has grown over the last 60 years from a small niche sport to a common pastime for folks of all ages and physical conditions. A few long time local contributors to the popularity of kayaking in the area are Eppies Great Race, River City Paddlers, and Dan Crandall’s Current Adventures Kayak School and Trips.
Paddling in a kayak is an activity that can provide you with an inexpensive way to experience and enjoy fitness, rivers, lakes, exploration, excitement, whitewater fun, wildlife viewing, fishing or other outdoor pursuits. Maybe now is the time for you to get out and try this low impact sport yourself!
