A Sacramento River Float Trip

Saturday, November 5, 2011

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:  (530) 345-1865; email liz@sacrivertrust.org or visit our website at www.sacrivertrust.org.
