Mother's Day hike at Riverfront

An early morning hike with the dogs. We'll start with a short climb to a ridge, then it's an easy stroll around the lake and time in the redwoods! What once was a gravel quarry adjacent to the Russian River is now a beautiful 300 acre park with two serene lakes for fishing or kayaking, a walking trail and shaded picnic areas. All levels; beginner hikers and well behaved dogs on a leash are welcome.
