Johnson's Beach Boat Launch in Guerneville offers free boat launching during business hours via a four-wheel drive vehicle or by carrying boats in, with a seasonal dam installed mid-June through October 1st that creates favorable boating conditions upstream.

The beach features rental amenities including canoes, kayaks, and pedal boats ($10-30), plus a snack bar and boathouse, making it a popular access point for paddling and fishing on the Russian River's Lower reach.
