Launch Points - Because all the beaches along the coast have publicly maintained access trails, one could potentially launch from anywhere. However depending on the surf, it could be difficult to get past the breakers and some of the access trails are fairly steep. With these factors in mind we compiled the list to the right. Russian River - The Russian River is a beautiful river and wonderful for kayaking or canoeing. It is also close to the Bodega Bay area. The mouth of the Russian River is 10 miles up the coast from Bodega Bay in the town of Jenner. Several businesses do trips with arranged pickup locations and bus or truck service.
