Here, you can pick up the 32-mile long bicycle path of the American River Bike Trail which connects the lake with Old Sacramento. Here, you'll discover the shops, restaurants, trails and museums that make up this National Historic Landmark District and State Historic Park alongside the Sacramento River.
