Join us for a double header, where for the price of one river, you get to paddle on two. We begin our paddle at the entrance to the Feather River State Wildlife Area and follow it down to the confluence of the Bear River. As we let the current gently pull us, we will pass through an overgrown forest full of wild fowl, herons, egrets and multitudes of various songbirds. Overhead hawks and Bald Eagles ride the air currents. Joining them are flocks of White Pelicans and Canada Geese. Just before we leave the Feather to paddle on the Bear River we pass a heron and egret rookery.
From the wide and panoramic Feather River we enter into a deeply shaded riparian habitat. The narrow width of the Bear, whose surface is shaded by a leafy roof of vines and branches, makes for a more intimate paddle. Beaver and river otters may be spotted either hiding along the brushy banks or surprised as we paddle around a bend.
Our paddle ends in the golden glow of the late afternoon sun as we enjoy our last view of the river from the high banks that border the shore.
In the fall, these same sights become even more dramatic with the color changes of the trees, shrubs and vines.
