Big River Tours



Big River is a lovely spot to visit if you want to be near the water. Enjoy a stroll along the river and keep an eye out for bird life.

This flowing body of water in Mendocino Coast is popular with fellow travelers, so make a spot for it on your schedule. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are plenty more places ready for you to appreciate after Big River. Russian Gulch State Park, Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, and Mendocino Headlands State Park are close by.

Take a hike up the haul road, which is a wide and easy hike along the river. Take a kayak trip up the river, but time it so that you'll be returning as the tide goes out...
