We rented a canoe at Enatai beach and paddled into Merced Slough. It was a peaceful, easy canoe ride with my kids. We saw frogs, turtles, blue herons, ducks and jumping fish. It was just long enough that we didn''t get too tired of paddling. The cost was about $15 for 1 hour. They helped get the canoe in the water and we didn''t even have to get wet.
