The best Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn row of the year, the Napa is a great river to explore, with shady trees lining the banks on the upper reaches.

Weather alternate dates are February 15 or 16, and February 28, or March 1 or March 2.

This is good for kayaks, canoes and pulling boats of all kinds; the Upper Napa is a tidal slough up to Trancas Crossing Park with a high tide.

Launch at 11 from the free ramp at the south end of Riverside Drive, right next to the Napa Yacht Club. Featuring a potential stop at the public docks and refreshments at Downtown Joe's Brewpub on the way up, on the way back, or both directions.
