River Wildlife

Watch the Sea Lions Feed

Sea lions live in the Sacramento River right at our dock. Paddle out and you may hear one before you see it — a snout popping up beside your board, then a spray of white as they chase baitfish under the surface.

  • Most active — Early morning and late afternoon, when the water is calmest.
  • Right at the dock — They haul out on the pilings you pass on the way out.
  • Give them room — We brief every guest on keeping a respectful distance.
Book a Board

Wild animals keep their own schedule — sightings are common here, but never guaranteed.
