The
Stanislaus River
 EXPERIENCE
THE STANISLAUS RIVER AT KNIGHTS
FERRY
One of the clearest of
California's Western Rivers, the Stanislaus originates high in
the Sierra Nevada. As it flows west through the Gold Country, it
passes through the rustic town of Knights Ferry, the home of River
Journey.
Knights Ferry is
filled with many historical buildings and legends, and is the site
of the longest covered bridge west of the Mississippi, located
just upstream from our put-in. It is just 30 minutes from Modesto,
one hour from Stockton or Tracy, and less than 2 hours from San
Jose and the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Stanislaus is a beautiful,
free flowing river at Knights Ferry. A paddle down the Stanislaus
is a great way to step out of the routine of daily life and experience
a simple pleasure. The "Stan" offers something for everyone.
Whether you’re a beginner or veteran river enthusiast, the
Stanislaus will not disappoint.
