Corte Madera State Ecological Reserve

A leisurely kayak tour of San Francisco bay wetlands

Come explore the marsh wetlands along the Corte Madera State Ecological Reserve while taking in the views of Mount Tampalpais and the San Francisco Bay. We will paddle out in stable double sea kayaks while keeping our eyes open for the curious harbor seals that gather nearby. If time and conditions permit, we may take an optional side trip past the infamous San Quentin Prison, then stop for lunch on a nice sandy beach with incredble views of the Bay.
