Any suggestions, other than Lake Tahoe, for a place for fla****er kayaking
within a few hours' drive of the San Francisco Bay Area? I'm looking for
somewhere scenic that also has a place to rent kayaks. (I'm not
interested
in ocean or whitewater locations.)

Lake Natoma in Sacramento. California Canoe & Kayaks has a large supply of
rentals there.
Oakland Estuary. CC&K has a store there also.

San Franciso Bay. City Kayak has Rentals and is just a few minutes paddle
from SBC Park if you want to join the contingency down there that collects
for all the Giants games.

A couple of good resources for kayak information in this area are

Bay Area Sea Kayakers: http://www.bask.org
Sierra Sea Kayakers: http://www.sskpc.org/index.html
