The Bohemian Grove is a place of mystery and intrigue that has permeated the Russian River area for generations. The 2,700 acre campground is located in Monte Rio and is owned by a private men's club known as the Bohemian Club that is based in San Francisco. Only the worlds richest and most powerful men are invited to stay at the Bohemian Grove for a 2-3 week encampment during the summertime. Although they may invite their spouses, family and friends all females and minors are required to vacate the premises by 10pm at the latest. The Bohemian Grove mascot is the Owl symbolizing knowledge and their motto is "Weaving Spiders Come Not Here." This is supposed to mean that all business dealings and politics are to be left at the door and are not to be discussed within the campground however there is much speculation in the area about whether or not their motto is honored. In September 1942 a secret meeting was said to have taken place at the Bohemian Grove that discussed the Manhattan Project and subsequently led to the atomic bomb. Since the early 1920's an owl shrine has stood at the front of the lake on the property guarding the secrets that lie within.
Among the rolling hills and towering redwoods of Monte Rio is Northwood Golf Course. This is a place where people can go to relax and enjoy a beautiful day in nature while getting some exercise.

In 1949 Sid Bartlett purchased a surplus Quonset hut from the US Navy and converted it into a Theater. After years of transitioning from one person to another and even being foreclosed on at one point the property came to rest with the Schafferts. They were upstanding Monte Rio citizens that quickly came face to face with a $4,ooo fine for allowing the communities children to do odd jobs around the theater in exchange for movie tickets and snacks. The judge was swayed to reduce the fine when the parents rallied in support of the Schafferts for allowing their children to do something productive while keeping them out of trouble. The Rio Theater has an adorable little cafe with hamburgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, and ice cold drinks.The Rio Theater has since been a community landing spot where locals and tourists go to enjoy a night out on the town.
