Riverfront Regional Park in Healdsburg is a peaceful retreat for both dog owners and their pets, set along the scenic Russian River. The park offers over three miles of trails, including the 2-mile Lake Trail, which loops around Lake Benoist, and the shorter Redwood Hill Trail, a half-mile walk through a stunning grove of redwood trees. Both trails are dog-friendly, but pets must remain on-leash throughout your visit. The park is perfect for a leisurely stroll with your dog, and there’s even a spur from the Lake Trail that leads to a small beach area along the river.
In addition to hiking, Riverfront Regional Park features ample amenities for a comfortable visit. There’s a shaded picnic area near the parking lot with tables and a large barbecue, making it a great spot for a family outing with your furry companion. The park also provides drinking water and restrooms, ensuring a convenient stop for both humans and pets alike. Please note that swimming is not allowed in the lakes.
Open year-round, Riverfront Regional Park is a great place for dogs to enjoy nature, with the beautiful of Sonoma County wine country all around. Parking is available for $7 per day, or free with a Sonoma County Regional Parks membership, making it an affordable and accessible destination for dog lovers.
