I would give this 10-stars if I could. Magical place to take a walk and enjoy the moments. You enter into a redwood forest with picnic tables and seating, and as you walk further it takes you along a perfect trail around a lake. The walking is flat and easy and the scenery is spectacular! On the walk I saw an egret, horses, and bald eagle. Also it seemed every other person walking was with their dog - every kind of dog imaginable, it was like a free dog show! I took my dog as well and she LOVED trotting along the trails. When we got to the end we ate some sandwiches at the picnic tables while relaxing under a redwood tree. Parking is $7 which is great to support our local parks. Its easy to get here. A true hidden gem!

Nice spot for a leisurely walk - can be completed in ~1 hour and is flat. Lots of picnic tables under pines near the parking lot and access points to the water for enjoying views/fishing(?). Note the $7 daily usage fee which is made easy to pay as there is a machine that takes cards or you can do the traditional envelope and cash.

LOVE this place. Such a nice little escape. Lots of little hikes and walks by the water or through the trees and even to the river.

I love this park! The huge redwood trees at the entrance are gorgeous, with a great picnic area for large groups under their canopy. The trail around the lakes is wide and easy most of the way, until you get to the rocky area between the lakes that requires some scrambling when the water level is high. Nice spot for lake fishing, or head to the Russian River on the edge of the park. Fun trail along the edge of the lake with nice shady spots for relaxing with a good book or picnic. Some years Ive seen the egrets nesting and heard the squawks of the chicks high in the trees - its quite a sight! Great for a peaceful solo hike to enjoy the quiet and beauty, or for families to explore among the trees and catch a fish. And its only 15 min north of Santa Rosa, right outside of quaint Windsor.

While the parking is $7 all day with no street parking available, the hike was very much a nice serene ~2 mile loop. There are tons of family and dogs. You can certainly have a picnic at the riverfront. There is an open restroom area too.

Good park to take family photos at. Lots of different sites to see. The walk through the park is very easy. The vineyards on the property make it feel a little more like Sonoma County too.

We love walking the trail around the lake which is a little over three miles. The West end of the trail does tend to flood during heavy rains.

Beautiful park for family get togethers or other social events. Main area with picnic tables with BBQ grills and volleyball ball courts are well shaded, while other spots are spread out along the trails. There are 2 lakes you can kayak on and fish, which is well stocked with bass and catfish. Great trails around the lakes for walking that lead to Russian River. Park is always well maintained and easy to access. Well worth the Regional parks membership fee.

Nice quiet place for a hike. The western most park of the trail is pretty washed out and can get a little sketchy. Lots of blackberries here, and the ones on the sunny side of the path are the best. Dont go here is you are looking to sit by the Russian River. There are only two real spots and they are small and occupied early.

Here is a peaceful, secluded, quiet area. A perfect place to bike, picnic, go fishing and have group outings. There is a parking fee is less than ten dollars, and the park gates are locked at sundown. At the lakes, youll usually catch Bluegill fish near the shores, but out on a boat you can catch catfish, steelhead etc...

Very beautiful spot to be in the evening. Sunsets and views are incredible. Bass fishing.. not so wonderful.I have pulled a ten pound catfish out of the 2nd lake. Great for BBQ. Has horseshoe pits. Big enough to take horses for a ride there also.

Riverfront Regional Park is a Sonoma County Park. You must have a park pass to use park or pay at gate. Not sure what fee is this yr though. I love it because its an appx 3 mile loop around a beautiful lake. Its a nature trail and. Trail meanders through coastal redwoods, wildflowers, wildlife, birds. There are benches along the way if you need a rest. Restrooms are in the picnic area, set off a bit and the picnic area is centered under a most beautiful grovevof Coast Redwoods. There are other trails too. One is a steep climb. I attempted, but did not finish..(bad knee at time). But seasoned hikers will enjoy. There is no swimming in lake but non motorized boats and fishing are allowed. This park also sits adjacent to the Russian River and There is access to the water though I dont recall seeing much beach. You CAN swim in the river, though its quite a hike from parking to water. Dogs on leash allowed too and poopy bags are provided as well. Peoples of all ages will enjoy something about this park.
