Drift & Discover: A Birdwatching Paddle

Glide across the tranquil waters of Baum Lake, where time slows, and nature’s rhythms take the lead. Bring your kayak or paddleboard and immerse yourself in the gentle beauty of this cherished landscape. Watch for the flash of an osprey diving, the effortless glide of a great blue heron, and—if we’re lucky—a graceful appearance from Baum Lake’s beloved pelicans. With each ripple and reflection, you’ll be reminded of the incredible wildlife and scenery we’ve all worked to protect. Whether you're an experienced birder or simply looking for a serene escape, this guided paddle offers a special chance to connect with nature. Come, drift, and discover.

Please note that the event begins at 9:00 am at Baum Lake. Guests will need to be prepared to leave Redding by 7:30 am to arrive on time.
