Concessions
The Concessions Program at California State Parks provides a very important part of the public’s park experience. Concessionaires offer the facilities, services, and goods that the State could not otherwise provide, ranging from traditional food services and campground grocery stores, to Jeep tours and rafting trips. Within the system’s historic parks, concessionaires help the Department achieve its educational mission by providing historical re-enactments and other educational programs, known in the park profession as "interpretation". These programs add vitality, interest, and excitement to our fascinating heritage preserved and protected by California State Parks. Learn More..... ... [Read More]
Bulletin 160-93, The California Water Plan Update, October 1994
The use and economic benefits provided by river recreation can be substantial, although difficult to estimate because such use occurs over diffuse areas and is often not under the jurisdiction of one area or operator. Table 9-1 lists minimum flow levels for rafting at 12 major California rivers popular with rafters and kayakers. Rafting and boating conditions forecast for these and other popular California rivers are published each spring in the DWR pamphlet Water Supply Outlook for Boaters, although few data are available on recreation use over long reaches of these waters. Estimated rafting use on these rivers was compiled in a 1983 report by the Planning and Conservation League. It must be emphasized that optimum flows ordinarily occur only for a short period during a year, and popular areas with prolonged periods suitable for rafting often result from coordination with release schedules for hydroelectric generation from major dams and reservoirs. ...

STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
In this century, the California courts have interpreted the legal term "navigable" very broadly to include recreational rafting and kayaking which can take place in very shallow water. Within the last decade, the California Supreme Court has recognized that uses of public trust resources include the preservation of the land, especially tideland, in its natural state to serve as ecological units for scientific study, as open space, and as habitat for birds and aquatic life. In administering the public trust, the courts have allowed the state to favor one use over another. ... [Read More]
