Papa's Taverna/Lakeville Marina

Gilardi's Lakeview Marina provides access to the scenic Petaluma River in Sonoma County, California. This site offers a boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats.

The Petaluma River is a tidal estuary that flows approximately 15 miles from the city of Petaluma to San Pablo Bay. The river is generally calm and slow-moving, making it well-suited for recreational paddling and boating. Nearby the access site, the river widens into a marshy area that is part of the San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge, providing opportunities to observe a variety of birds and other wildlife.

Amenities at Gilardi's Lakeview Marina include a paved boat ramp and parking area. Portable toilets are available on-site. The marina is open to the public, but a fee may be required. Paddlers and boaters should use caution when launching and be aware of tidal conditions, submerged obstacles, and boat traffic on the river.
