Tisdale Boat Launching Facility
Boat Launch Status
The Tisdale Boat Launch Facility on the Sacramento River south of the
Sutter County community of Meridian will be the only boat access point
to the Sacramento River from the Sutter County side of the river.
The launch facility is located at the Tisdale Weir, at the Sacramento
River at the end of Tisdale Road, in western Sutter County.
The two-lane launch ramp is 32 feet wide and 152 feet long and the
parking area slab is 88 feet wide and 750 feet long with 43 vehicle/trailer
parking spaces. It cost $1.4 million and was funded through a grant from
the California Department of Boating and Waterways, utilizing funds generated
by taxes on boats.
This section of the Sacramento River is part of the only stretch of river in the
Sacramento Valley where fall salmon fishing will be allowed. Under Department of
Fish and Game rules, no Chinook are allowed to be kept anywhere on the Sacramento
and San Joaquin rivers or any of their tributaries, including the American and
Feather rivers. The only exception is from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31 in the Sacramento River
between the Red Bluff Diversion Dam and Knights Landing for a one-salmon bag and
possession limit.
This boat launching facility is north of Knights Landing on a stretch of the river
that is also excellent for steelhead, striped bass and sturgeon.
Address
Located at the Tisdale Weir, north of Knights Landing.
