Our Full Day has it all: clear and clean swimming holes, plentiful beaches for picnicking and cooling off in the river, a diverse abundance of birds and wildlife to satisfy nature lovers, and long pools offering amazing reflections,! Pack a picnic lunch, your favorite beverages, and slip on your river shoes. Then glide your comfortable and stable SOAR canoe into the current towards the most secluded and hard-to-access section of the Russian River . Our Full Day is self-guided and self-paced.
