Located adjacent to the Russian River,
Riverfront Regional Park is just minutes west of downtown Windsor. The main
attractions in the park are two former gravel pits which have been reclaimed as
lakes offering bass fishing. No swimming is allowed in the lakes. Amenities
include individual and reservable group picnic areas (with BBQs), a two-mile
multiuse trail around Lake Benoist and a half mile long trail over Redwood
Hill. Additional facilities include a volleyball court and horseshoe pit as
well as a drinking fountain and flush toilets.
Improvements to the loop
trail on the west side of Lake Benoist provide a greater level of access
during the rainy season. The Master Plan identifies future phases of park
development including additional trails, picnic areas, Lake Benoist boat
launch, and Russian River boating access.
Riverfront Regional Park Trails
Length:3.12 miles of trails
Riverfront Regional Park is located
just outside of the town of Windsor and includes 3.12 miles of trail. The
primary trail leads from the parking lot to a loop around Lake Benoist, one of
two reclaimed gravel pits within the park. While swimming is prohibited, the
lakes are popular with fishermen and non-motorized boating is allowed. The
Redwood Hill Trail offers a pleasant climb up and over a small hill from the
picnic area, passing through oak woodland. Equestrians are allowed on the Lake
Benoist Loop Trail, and facilities include equestrian parking and hitching
posts.
