Day Paddling

Start your day with a peaceful paddle along a charming 5-mile stretch of river. At a relaxed pace (about 2–3 hours), you’ll have plenty of time to stop and swim, spread out a picnic, or just drift and enjoy the quiet. It’s the perfect easy morning on the water.

Join us for one of the most private and adventurous stretches of the Russian River. Your journey into the wilder upper river begins at the campground of our friends at Wildhaven Sonoma Glamping, tucked into Healdsburg’s scenic Alexander Valley. From here, you’ll paddle through a quieter, more untouched landscape—where the river feels a little more wild, and every bend brings something new to discover.

Give Mom the gift of happiness, peace and relaxation with River’s Edge Kayak and Canoe.

Experience the Rio trip in a whole new way—on a quieter, cooler evening paddle. As the day winds down, the river softens, the crowds disappear, and the wildlife comes out. With fewer people on the water, you’ll have more space to float, listen, and take in the natural rhythm of the river. It’s the same full Rio route, just with golden light, gentle breezes, and a more peaceful connection to everything around you.
