Paddle The Petaluma: Turn to The River

Join The Floathouse crew for a one-of-a-kind kayak experience that explores the past, present, and future of the Petaluma River—a waterway that shaped our city and is now at the heart of a community-driven revival.

We’ll begin with a brief paddle upstream, where the river’s natural beauty still thrives, before turning downstream into the main channel, where a different story unfolds. Along the way, we’ll discover how visionary individuals and organizations are reimagining the river as "Petaluma’s longest park," a vibrant space for recreation, connection, and ecological renewal.

Paddling past historic Gold Rush-era buildings, industrial landmarks, and newly revitalized riverfront spaces, we’ll highlight the efforts of riverside businesses, nonprofits, and passionate locals working to reconnect Petaluma with its waterway. As one of those organizations, The Floathouse is proud to introduce you to the river’s evolving story and the people shaping its future.

✨ Beginner-friendly and open to all! This gentle, guided paddle in sit-on-top kayaks is perfect for anyone with moderate fitness, whether you’re new to kayaking or simply eager to experience Petaluma from the water.

🌊 Come paddle with us and see how the Petaluma River is coming back to life!

$85/person: includes all equipment, guided experience, and new insights!
