River's Edge Kayak & Canoe Trips is based in Healdsburg, near the Russian River, north of San Francisco. The area is wine country and the river is clear with unspoilt surrounds. The company offers a self-guided 'RIO' tour. Paddlers hire kayaks and other essentials and are transported 5 miles upstream of Healdsburg. There they are given basic instruction and directions. The paddle back to base takes between 3 and 5 hours, depending on stops, and is suitable for beginners. The average depth of the river is 10 feet with Class I rapids. There is plenty of wildlife to be seen.
