Youth kayak program, Mission Creek

The best way to get started enjoying the Water Trail is to take a class or go on a guided trip. The Bay has challenging conditions and can be dangerous if you are inexperienced. Classes range from beginner to advanced and are a great way to build skills. Clubs are another good resource for developing skills. Contact individual clubs to learn more.

Many of the local outfitters offer rentals, classes, and guided trips.
