Can you describe the different races and courses?
We offer a 2 and 5 mile race as well as a kids short course race. Our finale is a 4-person relay race with lots of buoy turns….all the action can be seen from the beach. Lake Natoma is one of the finest lakes in California for paddling. The entire lake is a 5. MPH zone (no motor boats on the lake) … its a straight, flat and fast course.
What kind of paddling settings and conditions will racers face?
Perfect conditions to see how fast you really can go. The entire lake is a 5MPH zone, it is protected on both sides from the wind and there is little to no current.
