The American River Parkway is Sacramento's green spine — 23 miles of protected riverfront running from Discovery Park (where the American meets the Sacramento River) out to Folsom. The Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail runs the length for bikes and walks; Discovery Park itself has launch ramps, beaches and picnic grounds at the confluence — the easiest nature break in the city.
Parkway free; Discovery Park has a small vehicle fee.
Discovery Park's main lot takes coaches.
River beaches exist but currents are real — most groups stick to the trail and lawns.
