On River Clean-Up Instructions: Meet us at Irvine Finch State Park at 9am to drop boats and gear and shuttle cars to the end point. We'll get on the water around 10am and pick up as much trash as we can find, on our way down to Bidwell-Sacramento State Park parking lot and Scotty's Landing. We'll take out around 2pm and head over to Scotty's Landing for an unofficial late lunch and informal social gathering from 2-5pm. It is class I/II water, which means there will be some obstacles like trees in the water to avoid, currents that you will have to paddle in and out of and a few riffles. If you are bringing your own boat you should be comfortable with maneuvering through eddies and in a moving current. Dress as if you expect to fall in, though we don’t think you will! It is always easier to take off a layer to cool off than get warm when wet. Fleece and synthetic clothing in layers is recommended. Long sleeves and hats are preferred for sun protection. We will have a dry bag for you to bring a few items along in the rafts. Everyone must wear lifejackets at all times on the water.
This is a great opportunity to get on the river and learn a bit about Rivers for Change, the Sacramento River Preservation Trust and help give back to the river all while having a good time.
