Embrace the redwoods, lakes, the river, and shaded paths all within one park…read more Hands down my favorite regional park in Sonoma County. Come here to escape the chaos of the city. Where the water and trees welcome you with serenity. Come walk the dog, ride your horse, bring your kayak, bring your fishing pole, bring a blanket, have a BBQ in the group picnic area and more. A safe place for children but please always watch them around any body of water. Just on the outskirts of Santa Rosa, Riverfront welcomes you with all of its glory. The trails around the lake a extra wide and flat. Easy for a wheelchair to go round. This is one of my regular spots to escape and intake the beauty of nature. I highly recommend just buying a parking pass to support the parks. If you visit a regional park once a month, it pays for itself.

Treat yourself to an easy 2-mile walk along the lake formed by former quarry. Relatively level,…read moreunless you take one of the detour trails near the entrance. A few benches along the route enable a rest if you're out of shape offer nice views of the lake. Dogs on leash OK -- just pick up after your pet (I only wish equestrians on the trail had the same courtesy, so watch your step!). There's also a picnic area at the trail head, and bathrooms are nearby. There is a day fee for parking, but if you're a local, pick up an annual pass -- it will pay for itself in a few visits.

Grab your hiking shoes and get yourself outside...to Fitch Mountain Open Space! We've been hiking…read morethe 3-ish mile steep Summit Trail loop for years. The large parking lot and entrance into the hike at Villa Chanticleer were recently renovated (as was the nearby dog park), and it's fantastic. Be warned: the Summit Trail hike starts with a quick descent /stairs down from the parking lot, and then a LONG, STEEP UPHILL. And it's all dirt/gravel. It's a wide and well-maintained fire road, but the dirt/gravel can be loose. So wear hiking shoes (leave your less grippy running/tennis shoes at home), and take your time. Bring water and wear sunscreen, although a good amount of the trail has tree coverage. Previously the initial descent into the trail and trail markers weren't clear, but they are now. All except for the end of the trail - there's opportunity for a clearer trail sign at the final turn. So take a mental note as you start so you can remember where to hike down/back to the parking lot. If you end up down by the water tower, you've gone down too far. Leashed dogs are welcome on this trail, and our 2 pups love it - we always bring water and poo bags for them. The only challenge is that they end up covered in spiky hitchhikers...and sometimes we find ticks on them. This park is close to home for us so we've never needed bathrooms. As the other reviewer mentioned, there may be a single porto-potty nearby. So plan accordingly. This is an incredible hike enjoying the natural beauty of Fitch Mountain, right here in Healdsburg. From the summit, if you choose to take the Butterfly Trail offshoot loop, you'll see butterflies all around. It's quite magical. If you're in the area and looking for some meditative time out in nature, highly recommend this hike!

The newly revamped Fitch mountain open space park is fantastic! I heard about this place opening…read morebecause I follow our local senator Mike McGuire on social media and he posted about the ribbon cutting at this magnificently revamped park. Which inspired me to check it out. It features ample parking, some nice picnic areas, a dog park, and a few trails. There is an out and back trail to the summit of fitch Mountain as well as some loops and a few different variations. All trails features this trail, and says the trail is closed. But it is newly reopened I went on 5/6/2024 and the park was fully opened. I choose to hike the summit trail, in an out and back fashion. The trail is a fire road and it is very well maintained. I am an avid hiker, in good shape. I would say this trail is fairly steep, and I agree with the ratings on all trails which states this trail is moderately challenging. The dirt on the trail is a bit loose. I wore running shoes, but I believe hiking boots are more appropriate. There is a lot of poison oak along the sides of the trail. The trail has lots of tall trees which provide nice shade. At the top of the summit, I was pleasantly surprised there are many unique, and artistic benches. Some are designed to accommodate lying down. The benches are unique, and beautiful, but also very functional and comfortable. The hike is approximately 3 miles, with an elevation gain of roughly 787 feet, and the trail takes approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes to complete. Dogs are allowed on the trail, on leash. I was really impressed by the beauty of this park. My only complaint is the bathrooms at the park are not built yet. So if you have to use the bathroom, there is one, but it currently is a port-o-potty. The dog park looks very nice. Although we did not use it. We went mid week, and there was ample parking and the park was nearly empty. It was very nice to nearly have the whole park to ourselves. I highly recommend this park!

It is near the Russian River just outside of Guerneville. Redwood vibes similar to some parts of the Santa Cruz range or Marin Hills, but nothing that compares to the big redwoods in Northern California like near Humbolt Co or Crescent City, those are next level. There's a fee to park inside the park. Think it was about $10. It gets busy during the weekends and spaces can be super limited if you come after 11am. We were with a toddler, so we stayed on the main flat trails that go through redwood groves. It is very shady and well trafficked trails. There are a few loops you can join together, and the circumference may be a 2-3 mile hike. But you can do however long you want it to be. Now the trails that elevate into the hills are much more involved. It can elevate to a 1300 foot gain which is pretty strenuous. I haven't tried those yet but it is on my list to try. But even the easy trails that one day, was still beautiful and relaxing. To majestic red bark trees with healthy ferns all on the ground cover, fallen trees to climb on, large rocks to hop on was just a nice jaunt especially with young kids. We brought a light lunch and refreshments and were able to run into a small area with picnic benches. Perfect way to end a few hours steeped in nature, without having to be totally in the wild. Great intro for those that aren't too versed (yet) and to get them exposed to nature, ecosystems and wildlife. Connect with the world amongst which you live with but rarely see. Weekend mission accomplished!

Parking in Sonoma County Park Recreation areas are first come first serve. We arrived just after…read moretwo other cars pulled into 2 of 3 vacant parking spaces and came to find these girls holding a parking space for their friends that were not there. We tried to find a place to park on the street, however it was too far to walk. About 15 minutes later we circled back and the girls were still standing in the parking space. This is when I took the photo. For those that don't know, it's a violation of Sonoma County Parks Rules to hold parking spaces. Please respect our parks and abide by the rules. This is so that we all can enjoy these wonderful public places.

There is enough room for about 7 cars in the parking lot off the road in addition to available roadside parking where allowable. This is in the neighborhood and NOT off the official regional park section of the woods. It is about 2.5 miles up Fitch Mt. from town and down a meandering trail that goes along behind some homes to the stretch of gravel beach that this beauty exists amongst. It is truly a hidden gem. I don't try to bring too much since you have a good .50-.75 mile trek down to the beach to set up camp for the day. Mostly sun exposed so plan accordingly. The water is the real treat here - it is like bath water so warm and inviting you won't want to leave! Not super shallow and definitely swimmable. It's a quiet and serene stretch of the Russian River that feels magical to get away so close to home.
