The American River Bike Trail Loop offers a delightful and easy touring cycling experience, tracing the scenic American River. You'll glide along a smooth, paved path, transitioning from urban parks to tranquil wooded sections and open grassy areas, all while enjoying continuous riverside views. This 19.9-mile (32.0 km) loop has a minimal 125 feet (38 metres) of elevation gain, making it an accessible ride for nearly two hours.
Accessing the trail is simple, with many points along its length providing parking, restrooms, and water. While you can ride year-round, spring and fall offer the most pleasant conditions. If you plan to cycle during the summer, consider an early morning or late afternoon start to beat the heat.
Known also as the Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail, this route is celebrated as one of the longest paved purpose-built bike paths in the United States. It's not just a recreational path but also a vital commuter artery, showcasing excellent urban planning that integrates outdoor activity with environmental preservation.
