Located along the Russian River, Riverfront Regional Park is just minutes from downtown Windsor and Healdsburg and surrounded by classic Wine Country scenery. The park features a lovely redwood grove and two beautiful lakes for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing.
The 2-mile Lake Trail loops around the larger lake, Lake Benoist, and has a short spur to a small gravel beach on the Russian River. The .5-mile Redwood Hill Trail climbs through a grove of coast redwoods. Riverfront Regional Park features a total of 3.12 miles of trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding.
The redwood forest at the park entrance contains one of Regional Parks’ loveliest group picnic areas, with a large barbecue, a volleyball net strung among the trees, and a horseshoe pit. A restroom with flush toilets and a drinking fountain are available. Daily 7 a.m. to sunset.
