Johnson’s Beach – Laze away the long summer days at this family-friendly sandy beach along the wide smooth-flowing Russian River. The beach has a little area roped off for small kids to wade, bigger kids will enjoy renting pedal boats, canoes or kayaks. On a hot day, this is the place to cool off. There’s a snack bar, bring your beach chairs and towels (and if you’ve forgotten them, you can purchase sand toys and towels at the shops in Guerneville.) |

Armstrong Redwoods (Woods Rd.) – Just minutes from the center of Guerneville, go for a hike in the redwoods. Miles of trails through the magnificent coast redwoods, the tallest tree is 310 ft high (that’s taller than the length of a soccer field), the oldest tree is 1400+ years old. Bring your lunch (there are picnic tables), on a hot day the redwoods are cool and shady, in other seasons misty and mysterious. |

Go kayaking or canoeing – In summer, the Russian River is the perfect place to go boating. Rent a kayak or canoe, paddle away, and the boat rental companies will pick up you and the boats down the river. Canoes or kayaks, life vests, paddles and transportation are provided. In Guerneville, there’s King’s Sport, and in Forestville Burke’s Canoe Trips. |
