In the midst of one of America’s major metropolitan areas lies 32 miles of parkway bike path that promises many pleasant rides to cyclists of all levels. This is the American River Bike Trail, which goes from Old Sacramento along the Sacramento River to Beal’s Point on Folsom Lake. Formally known as the Jedediah Smith Bicycle Trail, the final leg of the bike path was completed in 1985.
