The American River Bike Trail Access provides entry points to the 32-mile Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail, a fully paved, multi-use pathway suitable for cyclists, pedestrians, and equestrians of all skill levels.

Multiple access points throughout the American River Parkway offer parking, restrooms, picnic areas, and drinking water, with Discovery Park serving as the primary western trailhead near downtown Sacramento.

The trail's gentle grade and year-round accessibility make it ideal for both casual recreation and commuting, with additional opportunities for fishing and paddling at various riverside parks along the route.
