Can I stop and get out for lunch or to use the bathroom when paddling at Elkhorn Slough/Moss Landing location?
Elkhorn Slough is a Reserve and paddlers may only land and get out of their kayaks at the public access beach in the North Harbor and at Kirby Park which is 4.5 miles into the Elkhorn Slough. Please do not get out of your kayaks anywhere other than Kirby and the North Harbor because banks of the Slough are part of a fragile ecosystem and composed of dense mud. Restrooms are located in our retail shop, in the North Harbor parking lot and at Kirby Park (4.5 paddle from the shop). See paddling map of Elkhorn Slough. Also check out our shuttle pickup option for renters.
