Canoeing in Del Norte County

The largest coastal lagoon in California, Lake Earl and the smaller, connected Lake Tolowa are separated from the Pacific Ocean by a narrow strip of land that seasonally floods, mixing saltwater into the mostly freshwater lagoon. The nearly 6,100 acre lagoon and surrounding wetlands are home to several endangered species, including the California brown pelican and the Oregon silverspot butterfly.

Float down a river relaxing to the sound of water and enjoying the unspoiled scenery. Get the occasional wildlife sighting from the seat of your canoe and always enjoy the sight of redwoods boardering the river from your choice of Del Norte County rivers like the Klamath. If you're looking for a more adventurous ride, these rivers also provide plenty of whitewater to choose from in the winter. See Kayaking and Rafting for more.

Here are a list of rivers you can choose from for your canoeing adventure:
