Sacramento is where trips into the Central Valley, the Sacramento/San Joaquin River Delta and the Sierra Nevada foothills begin. Sacramento’s main attraction for DogTrekkers is the 32-mile American River Parkway, a shady greenbelt cradling a dog-friendly trail that stretches from the Old Sacramento historic district to the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area.

Throughout Sacramento are parks, picnic areas, river beaches and countless other places where you and your dog can stretch your legs. After your hike or swim, treat yourself to a meal at one of Sacramento’s dog-friendly eateries.
