Spending a day on the Petaluma River has never been easier, thanks to The Floathouse. Rent your water vessel of choice Thursday–Sunday from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. (weather permitting).

WATER PLAY!

How To

Experience

THE PETALUMA RIVER.

FLOAT ON Paddle at your own speed with a rental from Petaluma Stand

Up Paddle & Kayak or Clavey Paddlesports

The Floathouse also has a fleet of hydrobikes, pedal boats, kayaks, canoes, and more. If you want to sharpen your paddleboard skills, sign up for “SUP with Shirley,” a monthly two-hour intro class. And don’t miss out on annual holiday events like the Lighted Boat Parade and Santa’s Riverboat Arrival

PICTURE PERFECT

Stroll along the river on the 2.2-mile Shollenberger Park loop trail for great bird watching. Guided tours are offered by the Petaluma Wetlands Alliance. Discover the wildlife-filled sloughs during a Dolphin Charters tour. And when you need to refuel but still want riverfront views, grab a bite at Grand Central Petaluma or enjoy dinner at River Front Cafe, Water Street Bistro, Ayawaska, or Cucina Paradiso
