a kayak trip down the Petaluma river from the outlet mall

If you click on the link below and bring your mouse to the bottom of the map a black link will pop-up, the 1st icon to the right is a slide show, click on that and you can see where each photo was taken per the pins on the map.

When I started paddling up to the outlet mall; six years ago, it was a very clean and pristine area, over the past couple of years a number of homeless camps have made their home on the banks, some have/do keep their sites clean, but as you will see some do not/didn't.

I hope you enjoy this short trip on the River in the middle of Petaluma

ps. if you want to bring trash back with you, there are two large trash cans at the River House...just in case :)

Here is an update 08/04;
I  paddled from the River house to the train trestle and back (of course), the only trash I was able to find was; 1 broken/1 unbroken bottle, 2 plastic cups and 2 plastic bags...WTG Petaluma!!! we have removed trash from a vital part of our town. The wild life seems happier too
