Russian River

Russian River is just a beautiful place all around I bring the large group of friends up there every year driving from San Francisco.

You have to visit yourself on a weekday. $10 parking $20 rental of an umbrella for shade. Also, a station for snack bar and rent kayak and wave boarding. The restroom are no pretty, but at least they have restrooms. The scene is beautiful, and the river is COLD but totally worth it. It's warm even for 72 degrees Fahrenheit! Also, do not forget your goggles totally worth looking underneath the water plenty of good sizes fishes!

Basically the coolest back road in Sonoma County. Not including the Pacific Coast Highway which doesn’t count. Lots of spectacular views and natural beauty. PLUS a handful of excellent bohemian villages with tons of locally owned shops and restaurants and wineries and more!

Even though the river was a little bit low this year it’s fantastic. Perfect for paddle boarding kayaking and canoeing. This is a great spot in California.

Great spot to do some activities with friends. It’s perfect for a little picnic or a bbq. It’s a great place for tubing or kayaking as well but just make sure you have someone at the end or a different stop to drive you back Reception is kind of dead here so take that into note

Russian River: "The Russian River is a stunning destination in Northern California, known for its scenic beauty, tranquil waters, and lush vineyards. Visitors can enjoy kayaking, wine tastings, and relaxing in the picturesque surroundings. A perfect spot for nature lovers and those seeking a serene getaway."

During the season, and if there is enough rain, this is a super fun place for a family vacation.

Love this vacation spot. Beautiful! Has the river, the wineries, the vintage stores, great restaurants.....all one place. ❤️
