Inflatable canoeing adventures down the Russian River are available from Russian River Adventures in Healdsburg, CA. Their inflatable canoe outings are suitable for the entire family, and you do not need to be in top physical condition to enjoy a journey down the river in one of their boats. Although the trips are not supervised, passengers are given instructions at the start of each one. When you opt to pull ashore to enjoy the many swimming holes, rope swings, and sandbars that are ideal for picnics, Petzooie can run free. You are welcome to bring food and beverages in a cooler or pay an extra cost for a Russian River Adventures boxed lunch. Reservations must be made in advance.

Badger Park has a fenced off-leash area with benches, a picnic table, water stations, an information kiosk, and covered places for tiny dogs under 17 inches tall.
