This is a popular route for hikers, joggers, horseback riders, cyclists, and skaters, running from Folsom to Old Sacramento. Fur trapper Jedediah Smith explored this American River path in the early 1800s. A historic metal swing bridge over the river, reserved for bikes and pedestrians, offers wide views down the water. The route suits a steady jog with constant river scenery, passing the Jibboom Bridge.
