The American River Parkway Trail extends more than 30 miles from Old Sacramento to Folsom Dam.  There are only a few street crossings. In the future, the remaining street crossings will be eliminated.  The Trail, the American  River,  several  parks, beaches and  recreational areas  make up the American  River Parkway, a greenbelt  area  which  runs  from the Sacramento River  to Nimbus Dam.  From  the  dam to Folsom Reservoir, there are additional parkway lands through which the trail runs.  And so, being a multi-use area, there are places for picnicking, fishing  and  swimming.  The River  is also popular  for  rafting, kayaking, and canoeing. The Parkway receives more use than any other recreational area in the Sacramento region. More than five million visitors use the Parkway each year.
