This trip takes you and guest on a five-mile stretch of the Russian River that starts and ends at the historic Monte Rio Theater in Monte Rio. Please note that we use canoes for this trip. The route is rated as a Class I flow with enough current to keep you navigating and negotiating through over-hanging trees and a few sandbars. Approximately 3 hours of paddle time.

Then et ready for a relaxing and memorable trip!
What to Expect on the River
The Russian River is a low flow sandbar river during the summer period. The average depth is knee to 10 feet deep with shallow sandbars and swimming holes deeper than 12 feet. The river is recognized for clarity and consistent flow as well as wildlife such as herons, egrets, turtles, osprey, various waterfowl, deer, and an occasional eagle or otter.
The Russian River is lake fed and very comfortable for swimming. There are deep pools, shallow riffles, and occasional sandbars that may cause you to briefly get out of your boat to pass through.
We’re excited to host you for a memorable fun-filled day on the Russian River. Book now!
