Russian River
The Russian River originates in central Mendocino County, approximately 15 miles north of Ukiah. It drains 1,485 square miles including much of Sonoma and Mendocino counties, and reaches the Pacific Ocean at Jenner, 20 miles west of Santa Rosa. Its main channel is 110 miles long and flows generally southward from its headwaters near Redwood and Potter Valleys, to Mirabel Park, where the direction of flow changes to generally westward as it crosses part of the Coast Range. The five principal tributaries are: the East Fork of the Russian River, Big Sulphur Creek, Mark West Creek, Maacama Creek, and Dry Creek. (Sonoma County Water Agency website). For purposes of identifying and implementing conservation measures within the Russian River watershed, the Sonoma County Salmon Coalition focuses on Alexander, Dry Creek and Knights Valleys.
