Headwaters Adventure Company is a great place to shop for quality paddling products. They carry a wide variety of kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets, paddles and lots more accessories. I have bought many items from them over the years and have always found them to be very friendly and helpful when choosing the best products to meet my needs. They are knowledgeable about our local waterways and will take the time to be sure you get what you need. Their greeters (two very sweet doggies) will meet you at the door to welcome you in.

I came here to buy a recreational fishing kayak. The shop had a wide choice of boats on display, and seeing them in person made choosing one a lot easier. I went with the Crescent CK1. The sales associate helped me load it on the car and showed me how to tie it down properly. Everyone was really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Headwaters is amazing!!! I booked a whole week of guided rafting trips on the Sacramento River for 50 high school students (I am their teacher). Not only were the trips so fun, but the guides treated the kids like gold. They were kind, patient, and trustworthy with our safety. They even trained all the students how to navigate and steer a raft. One of my students had a pre-existing shoulder injury that flared up, and the guides, after looking at him, determined that he needed to be picked up at a middle stop early due to it becoming a safety concern. They were so kind in dealing with him, and felt bad that he couldn't finish the trip, so they even offered to take him down the river again for free when he recovers! The guides were also respectful, engaging, and tasteful. I didn't hear a single curse word off-color comment from any staff. They were amazing role models for my students. Matt, Rick, Sean, and Tiffany I love you guys so much. Thank you for giving us an amazing week!!!

Friendly and generous and knowledgeable. At my first visit, I arrived just as they were closing. The owner answered my questions for half an hour. The second time I visited I bought an $1100 inflatable kayak he recommended. I'm planning a trip for next summer. They were willing to help me even though my purchases will be over the upcoming year.

This was an excellent course. Tiffany was able to cover all of the requirements needed for this course. She was able to help modify how a skill could be done when one of us was having trouble.

We rented a Raft for our 1st float down the Sac River. Headwaters dropped it off at the start & picked it up at the ending point. Bryan was helpful & friendly. The price was great. I highly recommend checking them out. We plan to rent again!

We had Matt come out to unload all the equipment and he was really friendly and professional! Couldn't have asked for better service.

Brian and the Headwaters team were *totally* helpful in assisting the planning of our multi-day canoe trip down the Sacramento. Recommendations on camp sites, hikes, etc., and also accommodated timing and other needs. We'd definitely use them again!

Bryan and the team were *totally* attentive in helping our group plan/execute a multi-day canoe trip down the Sacramento. We went through the map to ID camp areas, hikes, take-outs etc. And they answered all of our Q's about other details (weather, water height, etc. etc.) as well as accommodated our needs for transport from the take-out. We'd *definitely* use them again.

A local cheap thrill on the Sac River that more people should take advantage of! $15 dollars an hour with full gear with an initial walk-through for newbies like myself. Staff are very knowledgeable and experienced.

These guys are always super helpful. We’ve rented kayaks from them and just recently purchased one from their store. Super knowledgeable and lots of variety on kayaks and sup boards. Thanks Bryan for all the help.

This is a great, independent business with helpful and patient associates for those new to the sport. The owner stayed open for me when I arrived just before closing with many newbie questions. When I go from planning to purchasing, I'll remember their kindness.
