The only thing good about this place is the path is flat and easy to walk on but it really feels post apocalyptic. I saw three homeless people in the parking lot. There was a summer camp here today and I felt sorry for these children. Will not come back until they finish the park in 3 to 4 years. Very sad and depressing trail.

Yeah it's a little murky, well more than a little, but it's definitely a river that can transport you away from cityville & into the great outdoors. There is a nice little park that edges southeast of the marina where you can view some pretty majestic water fowl and contemplate life. Some decent fishing spots here as well. If you have a boat or kayak, you can nail some stripers on this river. I have better chances in the evenings and mornings, less so in the heat of the day. I like to use shad or night crawlers, heard some people use live mud suckers too.

First time renting from this company and it was quick and easy. We were able to book the day before…read moreand there were still a lot of time slots open for the following day. We booked a later morning float and it happened to be when some of the ships were taking off, but theres plenty of space to move aside as they go by. The staff was friendly and eager to help, they offered us complimentary phone sleeves for our float in case we wanted to take our phones, which we did, you never know if you'll need it...but they also have a lot of cubbies for your stuff if you decide to leave keys and things behind. Check them out, always a beautiful day for a float down the river.

*Great & Amazing Experience, I will come again sometime*…read more This was my first time choosing to rent from this company. I was worried that I had to rent a U-Haul pickup truck to tow their equipment. No Worries!! After making a reservation online, you show up on time. Time is important, it was quite a drive and I was 30 minutes late to my reservation. It was all good, I made it on time to enjoy the jet skis! Upon arrival, a person will brief you everything. Once completed, you follow the person towing your rental to the launch gate. Parking is $20, cash only! From there, you will enjoy your rental! Despite my experience, I did ran through a problem during my rental. I followed their rules and yet I got a warning light. Called the phone number they have given me, luckily I was with a buddy. They sent guys out to tow the jet ski, thank you! After we got back, no problems or damages were found on both jet skis. Small issue was oil overfill during the time the jet ski went through maintenance. It was understandable but I was given $25 for my next rental and refund back. We've taken it with care and hope someday to return to have fun!! S/O to the staff, thank you once again :)

I was looking at a couple used ones on craigslist but decided to walk into Clavey's with my father on the recommendation of several friends a few days ago. Jeff was very helpful, but also laid no pressure and was pretty hands off- he explained the choices thoroughly, paddles, PFDs, and carts, and then let us spend some time looking at all of them. Very nice to see that kind of no pressure attitude in a sales environment! Today, we went in and picked up an Old Town Sportsman 106. Clavey's is a great business and Jeff was wonderful to do business with. Highly recommend!

We've been talking about trying out some kayaks on the Petaluma river for a while and we finally…read moredecided to do it. What a great experience! With six of us (including three kids and a dog), we needed two tandem and two single kayaks. The guys at Petaluma Paddle were great. On the phone, Drew helped me figure out what we needed - at the river, Chad was super helpful and got us going quickly. We were in our way. About 40 minutes later we made it to the turning basin where we docked and then walked into town for lunch. The timing was perfect, left at around noon as the tide took us up the river and on the way back the Petaluma wind was at our back. Glad we finally made it out, was great to see Petaluma from the river. Will definitely be back!!

Yelp doesn't only help when you're hungry. It helps when you want to be active as well…read more Today we decided to try something new. Something we've never done before. We decided it was going to be Paddle Boarding. I called Petaluma Stand Up Paddle earlier in the week to get the low down. Jessica filled me in on how things operate. Today, I got the pleasure of meeting Jessica and Drew the owner. They got us all set up and have us a tutorial for us newbs. We rented our boards for $20/hr Or $65/day. They offer downwind paddles and other guided tours in their 2 other locations. Paddle Boarding seemed very novice. Anyone can do it. And you should do it especially if you're looking for a good core and upper body workout. You can paddle into Petaluma and have some lunch and paddle back. We did paddle twards town but never made it all the way. I think they said it was about a mile ? Along our paddle, we saw Blue Herons and Egrets hunting for their lunch. We watched as they caught and ate the fish. While we paddled, a parade of ducks joined us in the paddle. There were so many birds everywhere. We also saw jellyfish in the river. That was unexpected and neat to see. On the way back, the Smart train passed right in front of us. The passengers on the train waved as we waived back. We will be back and will hopefully bring others along with us. THANK YOU DREW AND JESS AT PETALUMA STAND UP PADDLE :-)

The views were beautiful, and everything felt well-paced from start to finish. The whole experience lasted about 2.5 hours and included 7 zip lines, which was such a fun adventure.
