Paddling near Mill Valley, CA

Mill Valley sits in Marin County, tucked between Mount Tamalpais and the tidal flats of Richardson Bay. The paddling scene here is defined by San Francisco Bay's northern reaches — tidal channels, eelgrass beds, and open-water crossings framed by the Marin Headlands. Richardson Bay is the home water, with Angel Island, Corte Madera Creek, Tomales Bay, and Harbor Cove rounding out a varied local circuit.
