Why you should go…

The Russian River winds through a stretch of redwood-shaded Sonoma County towns, with Guerneville as its hub for canoeing, swimming beaches, and a laid-back main street of shops and restaurants. The river draws summer crowds for tubing and kayaking beneath towering redwoods, a short drive from Healdsburg and the coast. The Russian River Chamber of Commerce represents the area's businesses and visitor resources.
