big river印象

Spent a couple of hours walking the river banks and seafront associated with this inlet - an extremely nice place for anyone and a real destination for families of all sizes and ages. Very safe place to go for a day with picnics and relaxation.

We walked the beach here which is easy to get to. Take your dogs and a picnic lunch. It appeared people went at night and built fire pits. You can rent canoes or kayaks across the river or bring your own.

What a superb area to explore while floating up river. Lots of wildlife to view. Walking the beaches and tide pools is a great way to spend an afternoon. One note the wind can really blow.

Although I have canoed up Big River my favorite river to boat on his the Albion River. House boats and secret coves. My friends and I bike up River, walk it , run it. Especially this time of year the lupine, columbine, California poppies are all in bloom. You can go 10 miles up it. The blues of the river ever changing as you look through the trees, Kingfishers, cormorants, and the statuesque Blue Heron. Magic... Shimmering waters, wild flowers , but beware of the nettles off to the side. A little later wild berries to gorge on... one of my faves on the Mendocino Coast. Stanford Inn rents boats and bikes... be careful crossing the bridge... Bon Voyage.

We took the Solar Eco Tour on the Big River estuary in a solar wind outrigger canoe through the Stanford Inn's Catch a Canoe facility. This guided tour is about two and a half hours long and leaves at 11:30 in the morning every day in the summer. (It's best to make reservations as it fills up quickly.) Our guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the history and the flora and fauna, and they obviously love what they do. We saw many birds, including some nesting ospreys. We also stopped to watch a group of river otters. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable trip.

Big River covers a huge area - about 7,500 acres - and is part of Mendocino SP. It was named for the massive redwoods which were here. There was a mill in operation here for nearly 100 years. Since trees do grow, nowadays there are *a lot* of very big 'second growth' redwoods.We didn't canoe or kayak as it was too cool and windy in May. We did walk a short distance up the old Haul Road. It's nice that horses are allowed here, even though we left ours at home! We also spent some time on the beach. The whole area is just lovely and was not crowded or busy. There is enough room for everyone to spread out :-)

I was directed there to go surfing but it wasn't a great day for it. Still, it seemed like a great beach for families, a nice protected cove with shallow and calm areas for kids to play. There was also a lot of surf (though choppy that day), boogie boarders were having fun.

Each time we go to the river it changes slightly, depending on the season and the tides. Lots of other people with friendly dogs. The river will be a special place to remember our Aunt.

This beach is rarely crowded, and is great for relaxing and watching the waves. There are two sections: the river side is quiet (usually families with small kids), and the ocean side is colder (from the sea breeze) but more scenic. Many people bring their dogs to this beach, and it is a great place to bring a blank and just hang out. The water is cold, but it's calm on the river side; however, the current is strong and the waves can be large on the ocean side, so swimming may not be the best idea.

They need to be on leash, but beyond that the walk down the river is fantastic. It is like taking a step back in time just to look at the the river.
