BIAC is located upstream near Bair Island and the Port of Redwood City.  We have year-round protected marine waters.  You always have access to the deep Port channel and the lower San Francisco Bay.  Mid to high tides enable access into Bair Island.

Bair Island is part of the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge, the one of largest restored wetlands in lower San Francisco Bay. The wetlands is a haven for 126 species of birds (resident and migratory), including blue herons, egrets, willits, and terns; 63 types of fish; and 13 types of mammals, such as harbor seals (of which there are several breeding settlements).

NOTE: Landing on Bair Island is prohibited.  Please enjoy everything from the water!

Our Safety page provides guidelines and other important information that everyone should know.

For newer members of our community, the Rowing Basics page introduces key concepts and describes what to wear.
