Eel River High Water
After 10 days of spring weather, and some excellent steelhead fishing on the Eel River, we are getting pounded with rain and the Eel has swollen it’s banks and it is now ”blown out” for fishing. This photo shot from the top floor of the hotel looking over the Terrace shows the rising river waters on the East Branch of the Eel rushing past the historic stone bridge. Many people like to come to Benbow to relax in the winter; to just sit by the fireplace, read a book, sip some wine and just watch it rain and listen to the raging river. Remember, no matter how bad the weather is, Benbow is open 365 days of the year and we have a generator. We are always serving in our dining room and you have a warm place to stay. This time of year we offer our popular Winter Bistro Menu. So come and relax. Let it rain. Let it rain. Let it rain!
