River Park Boat Launch

The River Park boat ramp provides direct access to the Sacramento River in Red Bluff, California. This major river system flows for over 400 miles, draining a vast watershed and carrying an average of nearly 39,000 cubic feet of water per second. The river has a relatively steep average gradient of 22 feet per mile, creating lively currents that paddlers should be prepared to navigate.

The boat ramp is a popular launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats accessing this section of the Sacramento River. Nearby campgrounds at the Red Bluff Recreation Area and Sycamore Grove provide accommodation options for those spending time on the water. Visitors should be aware of the river's challenging conditions and plan accordingly, with a focus on safety. The Sacramento River Bend Area and Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge offer additional recreational and natural exploration opportunities in the vicinity.
