Healdsburg Veterans Memorial Beach Launch

Healdsburg Veterans Memorial Beach offers a boat launch for kayaks and canoes on the Russian River, with a seasonal dam (July-Labor Day) creating a calm swimming and paddling area.

The park features accessible amenities including parking ($8-$12), restrooms, picnic areas, and free loaner life vests during summer months when lifeguards are on duty; note that parking fills quickly on summer weekends.

The launch is ideal for paddlers accessing the Upper Russian River, with nearby commercial shuttle services available for multi-mile canoe and kayak trips.
