Trancas Crossing Park

Tweet This

During on our stay in Napa we visited Trancas Crossing Park several times. It's lovely!

All we had to do was hop on our bikes and ride down the Napa River Trail, which was adjacent to our cottage, to get to Trancas Crossing Park.

We biked there several times. The boys played in the river and attempted to fish there, without success.

We should have launched our kayaks at Trancas Crossing.  Zillions of trees line the Napa River's banks in this area, making for a scenic paddle.  This area is sheltered from the wind, therefore, making it an EASY paddle, the most important aspect of kayaking.

There's also the chance of spotting a river otter or two along this stretch of the Napa River.

The Napa River is a tidal fluctuating river due to it's connection to The San Pablo Bay which connects to San Francisco Bay.  Therefore, any attempts at kayaking along the Napa River, are best on an incoming tide.

When we went kayaking we launched from the boat ramp at Kennedy Park. 

We saw plenty of birds including, a Great Blue Heron, a Great Egret, an Osprey, a Cormorant, a Black Neck Stilt, a Least Tern,  and more.  But we had to paddle hard against the wind for the first hour of our two-hour tour.

And by hard paddle I mean Hubby had to paddle his kayak, while towing the double kayak Vinny and I shared. 

Poor Huz.

Gio did zero paddling, slept through most of the kayaking trip, and was somehow exhausted from the watery adventure..........
