Kayaking Angel Island

Trip Description: Let's pack our kayaks and take a real kayaking adventure to Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay. While paddling the majestic Bay, take in the spectacular views of San Francisco, Mt. Tamalpais, Mt. Diablo, and the East Bay areas. Designated as a State Park, Angel Island boasts a long history of many uses. Angel Island was once a Miwok Indian Village, a military installation site from the Civil War to the Cold War, and termed the "Ellis Island of the West" during 1910-1940. Conditions permitting, a circumnavigation of the island provides an exciting view of the bay usually reserved for stronger groups. This kayak trip is appropriate for beginner and intermediate paddlers in good physical condition.
