Mission Creek Self-guided Trip

 

Paddle along the protected waters in San Francisco.

You have 1.5 hour to explore the landmarks nearby; McCovey Cove, Lefty O'Doul Draw Bridge, Mission Creek Houseboats. The water is flat in this area.

You must stay within the protected area. Tidal currents affect the San Francisco bay, and paddling outside needs additional gear and information.

Hour 0-0.5: check-in, area briefing, gear up, and paddling lesson
Hour 0.5-2: paddle on the water
Hour 2-2.5: return, rinse gear, and check-out

This package includes: 
1.5 hour kayak rental
lesson
good paddling condition
