A small County river-beach park at the foot of Fitch Mountain, a few minutes east of downtown Healdsburg, with a picnic area and stairs down to the water. Unlike nearby Veterans Memorial Beach, it isn't on the County's alcohol-ban list, so it's the Healdsburg-area riverside picnic where a bottle of wine is allowed by default.
