The Water Trail Multicultural Outreach Campaign and educational materials are designed to educate California’s diverse populations about water safety, stewardship, and responsible public access to human-powered paddling recreational opportunities using the public Water Trail launch/landing sites to help protect the watershed and shoreline plants and wildlife. Combining recreation with environmental protection, the Water Trail is a 72-mile water route along the shoreline that connects public launch/landing sites supported by educational wayfinding interpretive signage installed at 20 trailhead sites that include restrooms, trashcans, parking, paddle outfitters, and facilities.
