Hi; I just wanted to say thanks for posting this information on the web so I could find it! I live in Napa, have an old metal Gruman canoe and am headed up to Hendy Woods State Park this weekend. I was having a hard time getting information from the state parks about where put-in and take-out locations were / are along the Navarro River.
 
Thanks for the feedback!! Unfortunately the State & National Parks are mostly focused on hikers. Its up to the boating community to share the info about the good places to go boating.

I'd be happy to get trip reports from boaters like you describing your boating trips. Many of the put-in/take-out locations I have posted are best estimates based on published guidebooks that are often quite old. Whenever you have more recent information about exactly where to park, exactly where to access the river and what you encounter on the river I'm eager to post your update info on the site to help other boaters.
