Cherry Creek Paddle & Hike

At Lake Sonoma in Sonoma County, CA. 

 

From the Yorty Creek Day Use Area, we paddled as far as we could up the Cherry Creek arm, then hiked another couple hundred feet up the shallow creek bed.

 

Why?  Because it's there

Yorty Creek Water Level

It shaping up to be another great water season for Lake Sonoma. These flood stage levels insure the lake stays full and vibrant during next years dry season.

 

 

Dry Creek Waterfall Paddle

Our annual paddle out to the Dry Creek Waterfall at Lake Sonoma.

 

Typically we do this in April before the creek warms and fills with algae. With the late Spring rain storms we had, the lake is plum full and the creek water was running COLD!

10+ miles round trip and this year we were able to paddle within about 200 feet of the falls, so there was not much creek hiking.
