Sacramento City Marina (South Basin)

The Sacramento City Marina (South Basin) provides convenient boat access to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the Sacramento River. This public boat ramp is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small to medium-sized boats up to 50 feet in length.

The marina is located just off Highway 50, making it easily accessible from downtown Sacramento. Paddlers and boaters can launch directly into the calm, slow-moving waters of the delta and explore over 1,000 miles of interconnected waterways. The Sacramento River at this location is wide and navigable, with a mild current that is generally manageable for recreational users. Nearby Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge offers additional opportunities for nature-based recreation along the waterways.

The marina offers basic amenities like a boat ramp and parking, but visitors should come prepared with their own safety gear, supplies, and any other necessary equipment. Hours and fees may vary, so it's recommended to check the city's website or contact the marina directly before visiting.
