Run, bike and walk outdoors along the American River Parkway, aka Jedediah Smith Memorial Bicycle Trail. You'll travel a spectacularly scenic 3.2 mile trail that runs from Old Sacramento to Folsom Lake offering many entry and exit points along the way.

Skip over to the docks of Old Sacramento and board the 1920s paddle-wheeler Delta King Hotel Riverboat. Come aboard to enjoy the scenic river and its boating activity, exciting theatrical performances at the Capital Theater, causal dining and live entertainment at the Pilothouse Restaurant, and charming staterooms for overnight stays. You won't find another attraction like it.
