Title

Russian River Parkway Project

Description

The Russian River Parkway Project (project) is proposed by Regional Parks to create three new formal access areas to the Russian River with new public amenities between Cloverdale and the Sonoma County/Mendocino County line. The project would include the construction of trailheads and new and improved trails accessing the Russian River, as well as formal parking areas, picnic facilities, restrooms, garbage and recycling receptacles, interpretive features, a connector path along Geysers Road connecting the three new access areas, and invasive vegetation management. The overall goal of the project is to create new formal public access to the Russian River north of Cloverdale along Geysers Road, where heavy recreational use has degraded the environment and caused community conflicts. By formalizing and managing the new river access, the project is anticipated to reduce trespassing, pollution, illegal dumping, and vandalism resulting from unregulated heavy use; and increase safety and accessibility by providing delineated parking and formalized trail access to the Russian River.
