The Navarro river remains fairly deep for quite awhile inland from the coast. Once you get upstream a bit the greater obstacle is strainers. I'm not sure how far you can paddle upstream on the Noyo from the harbor. There's a kayak shop at harbor that may be able to answer more questions (http://www.noyopacific.com) but since you're talking about the area where I was born (Ft. Bragg) I couldn't help following up. >I am concerned that water levels may be too low for comfortable paddling >in my fiberglass sea kayak.

There is certainly lots of off shore paddling with quite a few sea caves and rock gardens to explore if conditions permit. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
