American River Parkway
The American River Parkway is a 32-mile greenbelt along the American River. A paved, multi-use trail with multiple points of entry off of Highway 50 runs 32 miles from Folsom Lake State Recreation Area to the Old Sacramento historic district.
The parkway’s 82-mile trail system also includes hiking and equestrian paths. The parkway is the jewel in the crown of the Sacramento County Regional Park System and a cherished resource for area residents.
Dogs on leash are welcome.
