Welcome to the announcement list for West Sonoma County and Monte Rio, California. Join this list to view our calendar of events and to get on the email list of the calendar of events here at the Russian River.
Monte Rio is located in beautiful Sonoma County on the Russian River. This small community is snuggled between the river and the redwood crested mountains. Many things to see and do are within walking distance. Enjoy swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and boating on the river. Walk to the public beach for sunbathing. There is a movie theater right in the center of town. Other enjoyable activities are just a short drive away. You can go wine tasting, hiking, horseback riding, abalone diving, and of course eating and drinking in many of the fine restaurants and bars nearby (Bars/Restaurants/B&B's).
Play golf at Northwood Golf Course. See a play at Pegasus Hall, the live theater company in town. Watch a movie at the local movie theater, Rio Theater. While sunbathing on the beach, read the Russian River Times, a local paper. Drive to Duncans' Mills and taste some great wine at Wine Tasting of Sonoma. Or rent a canoe or kayak from Burke's Canoes and travel down the river (Monte Rio Businesses).
