DESCRIPTION:

Join two authors: Ashley Shult Langdon (author of Mildly Scenic) and Felicia Leo Kemp (Moon Northern California Hiking) in collaboration with the Sacramento Women Hikers in the Sacramento area, for a guided 3-mile hike within River Bend Park.

The trail (adventure 10D in Mildly Scenic) will take you through the shady network of trails along the river’s edge as well as through the center of the roughly 400 acres of remote protected land adjacent to the Lower American River. Terrain is flat, but uneven. Sturdy walking shoes recommended.

LOCATION:

2300 Rod Beaudry Drive, Sacramento 95827

From Hwy 50, take the Bradshaw exit and turn right onto Folsom Blvd., then turn left on Rod Beaudry Drive and follow it into the park.

We’ll gather in the main parking lot of River Bend Park, just at the base of the Harold Richey Memorial Bridge. There are restrooms near the large grassy picnic area. If you are coming from the north side of the river (Arden) you can park at William B Pond River Access and cross the bridge to meet us!

PARKING:

Parking is $7 (or with an annual parks pass), payment required at the kiosk upon entry. Cash or card.
