The Jenner Visitor Center provides free parking and access to the Russian River estuary, with restroom facilities and an overlook area offering spectacular views of the river mouth and Goat Rock.

The center serves as a gateway for kayak rentals and paddling trips on the estuary, where visitors can observe seals, sea lions, otters, and various seabirds, with calmer water conditions when the river mouth is closed by a sandbar.

Hours are weekdays 11am-3pm and weekends 10am-4pm.
