Pegasus Theater

The Pegasus Theater is nestled just behind the Rio Nido Roadhouse in Rio Nido. The building that they use is the old Rio Inn that used to house sailors during World War 2 that were on their way to war in the Pacific. However, in 1998 the Inn was converted to a live theater. This means that instead of big screens and sound systems the shows consist of live actors and actresses that have spent many grueling hours practicing their parts for your enjoyment.

It is primarily made up of vacation homes and cabins. Rio Nido's slogan is Memories that linger due to the large amounts of vacationers that visit each summer and create lasting memories on the Russian River.

There used to be a boat that ran from the tunnel river access in Rio Nido to Johnson's Beach.
