The American River Parkway in Sacramento has over a dozen access points which feature areas to fish, swim, kayak, or run. The Parkway bike trail runs from Discovery Park to Nimbus Fish Hatchery and into the Folsom Lake SRA. Many of these locations are served by light rail, fixed-route buses, and SmaRTRide shuttles. Relax on your way to the park, instead of dealing with the headache of traffic or finding parking.
