The American River Parkway is a 32-mile (51 km) urban regional recreation area that runs along the American River throughout Sacramento County, California, consisting of many smaller parks and boat launching points. It can be accessed by various exits off U.S. Route 50 in Sacramento County.[1] Levees line the river to prevent flooding of developed areas.[2]
