Sonoma County's Best Eco-Adventure!! We offer two different length trips on the primo remote, “south of Healdsburg” run. This section of the Russian River has the most water in the dry summer months, so you will never drag your canoe over the shallows. The water is clean and refreshing for summertime fun, and there are many wonderful beaches for picnicking, swimming and sunning. Enjoy the comfort, stability and quietness of our SOAR Inflatable canoes...simply the best on the river. Because there are no houses or roads nearby, the bird and wildlife is amazing. This is a perfect trip for families, couples, and corporate outings. Our full day trips are dog-friendly. The staff at RRA is people-friendly! We have the highest ratings from customers on Yelp and Trip Advisor. Join us for a day on the river and see why!

California's premier leisure canoeing destination. Just north of San Francisco.

When To Come - River Flow
April through October (7 months)
The river is slow-moving and safe during the canoeing season. If coming with children try to plan your trip in the mid-May through mid-September period. The shoulder periods of the season are excellent for the outdoor adventurers.

November through March (5 months)

During the winter the river rises, increases flow and hides branches and other snares. We do not advise canoeing the river during the winter unless you are experienced.
