This morning trip takes you down a quaint section of a five-mile stretch of the Russian River that starts north of Healdsburg. This is a three to six-hour paddle with a 3:30 p.m. checkout time. Paddle a canoe or kayak on this self-guided trip, rated as Class I flow with enough current to keep you navigating and negotiating through over-hanging trees and a few sandbars. Our trip spans a beautiful section for swimming, picnicking, fishing and enjoying an abundance of wildlife. Canoes will require two adults or one adult and a teen to navigate the boat. We recommend two persons per canoe, though a third can fit if the party is under 75 pounds. There are two seats in a canoe, and the third rider sits on the floor of the boat. Bringing a seat-back, towel or stadium cushion is recommended for greater comfort.
