Want to see 11 Miles of the Petaluma River in a canoe in just 4+ Minutes?

The Petaluma River is not only a popular water way for sports and fun, it also shaped our city’s history and heritage. This week I found some interesting information about our River I thought was worth sharing. Jaringan Tokek recently blogged on our river in an article called Petaluma River – Petaluma River California on Friday, October 24, 2014 which covers the habitat, ecology and history of our river. Petaluma also has a non-profit organization called the Friends of the Petaluma River whose goal is to celebrate and conserve the Petaluma River, its wetlands, and wildlife. They support education and activities around our river and created several annual events around our river including the Petaluma Watershed Celebration, Petaluma River Clean-Up, Winter Fandango Gala, River Heritage Days, and let’s not forget the popular Rivertown Revival.

We have never canoe’d down the Petaluma River before, and also do not have a patients to watch a video more than 5 minutes of someone else doing it. David Bell posted a video of him canoeing down the Petaluma River over a stretch of 11 miles in time elapse in just 4 minutes. Notice something you want to see? Hit the pause button. This makes for a cool short tour down the Petaluma River.
