The Elkhorn
Slough is a spectacular wildlife haven that
captivates photographers of all skill
levels. This enchanting 7-mile waterway
boasts an astounding abundance of waterfowl,
harbor seals, and sea otters, drawing
shorebirds by the thousands each year. The
best way to witness this natural spectacle
is by gliding across the slough's sparkling
waters in a kayak or canoe, where you'll
encounter a dazzling array of wildlife, from
American avocets and snowy egrets to the
occasional deer.
Nestled along the coast of northern
California, the Elkhorn Slough is one of the
most pristine wetlands in the state. This
untouched, sheltered estuary winds its way
through oak-studded hills, feeding 2,500
acres of rich marsh and tidal flats before
reaching the Elkhorn Slough National
Estuarine Research Reserve. Paddling this
 enchanting
waterway offers a truly immersive and
unforgettable experience for nature
enthusiasts and wildlife lovers alike.
Paddling is an enjoyable way to get out on
the water, and the Elkhorn Slough is one of
the best places to try it!
