The
Sacramento River Preservation Trust (Trust) and Associated Students
Adventure Outings (AO) are co-sponsoring a Sacramento River float on
Saturday. The float will cover 9 miles of the Sacramento River between
Jellys Ferry and Bend just north of Red Bluff. It will be an all day
event from 8:00 am to approximately 5 pm. Before embarking Kelly
Williams, Natural Area Manager for the Bureau of Land Management, will
give a brief talk about the area.
Fall
is a perfect time to experience this incredibly scenic stretch of
river! Framed by rimrock canyon walls, this part of the Sacramento
River is unknown to many due to its remoteness. Wildlife is abundant,
with many migratory animals moving through the area at this time of the
year. A number of raptor species are especially prevalent, including
bald eagles and various members of the hawk family. This entire section
of river is recognized by governmental agencies at both the state and
federal level as having outstanding scenic, cultural, ecological and
outdoor recreation values. In short, this is a great place to spend a
day on the River.
River
guides, whitewater rafts and lifejackets are provided by AO.
Participants will start in Chico, meeting at the AO Equipment
Warehouse. Participants are asked to bring their own lunch. The cost
per person is $55 for Trust members and $65 for non-members, with TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED from Chico and back. Due to AO requirements, only those adults (18 years of age and over) may register.
These
trips will fill up quickly, and there is a limited amount of space.
Please call the Trust to make a reservation and/or to learn more:
