The south access point at Cloverdale River Park provides a boat launch ramp for kayaks, canoes, and drift boats on the Russian River, along with fishing access and a paved 1-mile multi-use trail through riparian forest.

The park offers accessible parking, pit restrooms, and picnic areas, with parking fees of $8 (fall/winter/spring) or $12 (summer). Located at 31820 McCray Road, this is the only public developed river access between Mendocino County and Healdsburg.
