Kayaking Adventures
Kayak rentals are also available at the popular Johnson’s Beach and Monte Rio Beach to explore the Russian River. Consider shuttling your gear from King’s Sport & Tackle for a relaxed downstream trip. You can go for a kayaking tour at the Russian River Estuary to see otters, pelicans, and harbor seals closely.
Lazy Tubing Delight
The Russian River is slow-going during summer, making tubing a perfect choice for a lazy day. You can enjoy a 4.5-hour float journey from Steelhead Beach in Forestville to Sunset Beach. Plan your transportation to ensure that you are not walking back to your Guerneville lodging, or using the Regional Parks River Shuttle for smooth tubing.
Laughter-Filled Canoeing
The Russian River is a delightful place to go for a canoeing adventure as a family activity. Johnson’s Beach offers online reservations or first-come, first-served rentals. The navigation of the river’s current might be challenging but shared laughter and navigation woes become fond family memories.
Exploring Guerneville
The Russian River Valley provides the perfect environment for a fun family day when you’re at a Guerneville lodging. As the river winds its way to the ocean, you will come across several distinct towns that dot its banks. Right at the heart of the Russian River, Guerneville features rustic storefronts and galleries that tell the story of the town transforming from a timber town into a hip getaway.
