The SACRAMENTO RIVER BOATING GUIDE From Rio Vista to Knights Landing
The Sacramento River Boating Guide is the ultimate directory for exploring and enjoying the Sacramento River. Beginning at the easternmost reaches of the San Francisco Bay, The Sacramento River Boating Guide takes boaters on a guided tour of the river from its mouth to the town of Knights Landing, ninety miles upstream.
Peppered with stories and adventures experienced by Bill Corp and his wife Cindy, this live-aboard couple keeps you entertained while also giving you the know-how to navigate the ever-changing features of a major river. Bill's playful writing style and colorful storytelling bring to life all aspects of living on the river. His retelling of each town's history paints portraits of life before modern times, when circumstances were very different but human nature was still very much the same.
Bill's keen eye for creating charts makes docking at and navigating to the marinas and towns easy and fun. Readers are shown where to spend nights aboard, which river towns have public docks, and where the museums, stores, restaurants and items of interest are located. Quiet anchorages, fascinating walking tours and beautiful stretches of river await the curious cruiser just around the next bend.
Detailed listings of marine facilities, bridge clearances, fuel stops and boat repairers are all organized so that boaters can leisurely cruise upstream (or float downstream) without worry.
One of the most vibrant destinations on the river, Old Sacramento State Park in downtown Sacramento, is covered in perfect detail. The berthing, shopping, bicycling, underground tours, night life, railroad adventures, beaches and museums are all written about as only someone who has experienced them firsthand can describe them.
The Sacramento River Boating Guide has everything boaters need to go from zero to "I can't believe we haven't done this before!"
