Review:
The American River Bicycle Trail is a 32-mile scenic pathway that spans the length of the beautiful American River between Sacramento's downtown district and Folsom Lake's Beal's Point. The accessible two-lane trail welcomes pedestrians, cyclists, and inline skaters, with public restroom facilities and drinking fountains provided along its course route. Along the way, the path spans through several public parks and riparian habitats, connecting a number of the region's historic districts and major attractions. Though the trail is shaded throughout the majority of its route, visitors should note that temperatures can climb high during the summer months and are advised to bring water and use sunscreen. For cyclists, the route connects with the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail in downtown Sacramento.
