The Tisdale boat ramp provides direct access to the mighty Sacramento River in Sutter County, California. This two-lane launch ramp is 32 feet wide and 152 feet long, with a large 88 x 750 foot parking area that can accommodate 43 vehicle/trailer spaces.
The Sacramento River is a major waterway, spanning over 419 miles in length with an average flow of nearly 39,000 cubic feet per second. Paddlers and small boaters can expect a steady current with an average gradient of 22.4 feet per mile. The river's size and power make it best suited for experienced river users.
The Tisdale launch site offers a convenient put-in point for those exploring the Sacramento River by kayak, canoe, or small motorized boat. Nearby recreation areas include the Sutter National Wildlife Refuge, providing ample opportunities for wildlife viewing and nature appreciation along the riverbanks. Visitors should check the weather and flow conditions before heading out, as the river can present challenges for less experienced paddlers.
