Outdoor Recreation

Sonoma County is a beautiful and biodiverse natural setting with a mild, Mediterranean climate. Encompassing mountains, valleys, forests, rivers, and 50 miles of coastline, the region is ideal for all kinds of outdoor pursuits. Thrill-seekers can zipline through the forest canopy, while those who prefer a slightly slower pace can try paddling down the Russian River or bicycling through acres of sunlit vineyards. From camping to horseback riding to hot air ballooning, you’re sure to find an outdoor activity that’s just your style. Even if you’d rather enjoy the stillness of forest bathing among the redwoods, you’ll feel refreshed, reinvigorated, and connected to nature.
