I've never been and hear a lot of good things about boating up there.
Thinking of doing a trip up there this summer. Any recommendations of where to go, stay or what to avoid?
Thanks
this is what i would do--- go over to pb and go into the delta lunch bunch section and ask all ur ?'s. those guys all baot and live up there. i think grads, rogerthat99 and someone else arefrom that area that are on here..:thumbsup
Cool, so i want to make a long weekend trip in Aug or July. Want to stay on the water with the boat in a slip if possible, no RV though. What would be the best or most central place (tower park and Windmill look cool)?
Also what are the must see bars/restaurants?
Anything I have to see?
Any riverboats/gambling?
Biggest things to be careful about? (getting lost seems one, GPS a given)
Thanks guys.
Stay at Windmill COve because it is on the water and Kinda Central.
Must Do's
As Soon as you get there BUY A MAP
1-Drink alot ( watch for Leos ) They will be in the Deep Water Channel around Lost ISle and Fourteen Mile Slough
2-If a Leo has someone pulled over you Must pass them at Wakeless Speed or they will get You Too.
3-Go to Lost Isle and Drink a Mai Tai
4-Sugar Barge-Cool Upstairs Bar
5-Discovery Bay-Cool Bar and House Looking
6-Tower Park-Drink a TowerTini
7-Garlic Brothers at Village West Marina-Awesome Bar and Food
8-Spindrifts-Cool Bar
9- RIverboat Marina-More Drinks
10-Lighthouse-Another Drink
Most of all-Enjoy the adventure as it is one of the Coolest Places to Boat.
BTW-If you haven't noticed yet, you really don't need much of an Ice Chest as there are ALOT of places to Stop.
Most importantly-Take you wallet ( Because your gonna burn some fuel ) and buy your Gas before 3PM as alot of the Gas Docks Close Earlier than you would think.

I bought my Ultra from a guy in Walnut Creek that used to boat on the Delta. He sent me a lot of pics of the boat that he took on the Delta. Looks like a really cool place!
Here's one that I have

Can you boat all the way to Sacramento? Would it be too far or even worth it?
That pic looks like Lake Shasta...

What about Wimpy's? Not sure if it's still there, it's ben a long time since I have ben to the delta. When I was a kid we would do a week houseboat trip, the parents would be in the bar & us kids were jumping off the bridge near Wimpy's and float back to the houseboat tied up to the dock. Watch out for water snakes!
Looks like renting a place in discovery bay is the ticket.
To clairify: Grads never ever boats on the delta, he is scared
Easy now. I don't go to the Delta because I like to swim and that water is gross with all the shit floating in it. The bars are cool but not worth the hour drive for me when I have good clean water 5 minutes away at Folsom Lake. Oh BTW, if it wasn't for Folsom you'd be boating in salt water.
