As we bring our journey to a close, take a moment to look around and reflect on the unique beauty of the Cosumnes River. From the quiet sloughs to the towering riparian forests, we’ve seen how this river shapes the land and supports a rich diversity of life. The wetlands filter water, provide homes for wildlife, and create a sanctuary for migratory birds. Every bend in the river tells a story of natural resilience, conservation, and the delicate balance between land and water. We hope this paddle has given you a deeper connection to the river and an appreciation for the critical role preserves like this play in protecting our ecosystems. Thank you for paddling with us today—may the sights, sounds, and experiences of the Cosumnes River stay with you long after you leave.
