Very peaceful place to take a nature walk/hike.

Lots of wildlife to be seen in this lovely part of the lake...enjoy a row here to the North side of Lake Natomas on the American River and enjoy natures beauty!

This is a great place to get away from the city and be with nature. We ride our horses out here and see everything from deer to coyotes. Its beautiful to just walk leisurely amongst the trees with the smell of the pine trees in the air...it reminds me of camping. Be careful on some of the trails in the early mornings or around sunset the Rattlesnakes are out sunning themselves. Beautiful place!

Lovely. Easy walking. Watch out for bicyclists at breakneck speeds whi dont appear to enjoy sharing the road. Walkers walk on left. Just a reminder.

Great place to go and explore lots of trails!

Spacious park with primitive parking. Big hills of dumped river rock you can climb and experience avalanche like conditions. Horse trails, hiking, biking, cycling, jogging, dog, kids, wild life and river front access. I came across white tail and turkeys. Green space and horse manure. Texas sized acorns near the river.

Great place to nature walk, dog walk, run, or ride your bike.Plus fishing.

I was riding my bike, saw a picnic table so I rested and was fortunate to see the college canoe teams practicing. Im posting a few pics. Such a great place to ride

Great place for a hike/walk/bike ride! I used to go horseback riding here when I was a kid. We kayak here a lot, but decided to take our dog for a walk.

Really enjoyed myself here. There are many trails to pick from, not to many people, kinda feels like you got the place to yourself. Some pretty nice sights my favorite is the nimbus dam.

Beautiful and very accessible. Saw lots of deer and turtles.

Close place to hike with nice views.

Very nice, I love taking my dog here. Its just down the road from Phoenix park so I often stop by there first to throw the ball and finish the afternoon with a relaxed walk through Mississippi Bar.

Nice quiet place for a walk, run, jog, bike ride, or horse ride!!

Great trail, saw some baby eagles.

An amazing hiking trail that goes on for miles. There is something new at every corner. The views are stunning and you can spot a few animals on the way here and there. Highly recommend going thorough the whole trail as it is a good challenge and worth it!

This is a great place to go on walks and view nature.

Come here all the time! They have a great view of the lake and amazing to come visitor swim! Recommend +

What wife and I did this hike while the kidos were in school, and it is dog friendly! What an awesome view from the top of the overlook. We also enjoyed the rowers on the river getting a practice session in.

Very nice area to take a daily walk in.

Beautiful, walkable bikeable river access. There are turkeys.

Very broad and open for free roamers. Theres one mountain in the vicinity. Chill

Nice hike a nd recreation area!

Great hiking trails, horse trails, and bike trails

Great trails for biking and running

Great place to bike ride, walk, water activities or just chillax in nature.

If I say that it is good place I wont say anything. This place is ...

Walked down from Main and Sunset to the bike trail, then over past the dam. Nice trail, good views.

Unless you got a , this place is just dry and nothing to see

A lovely slice of trees and trail tucked up against lake natoma.

Cool spot to look at

Truly beautiful stretch of the river. Ive ridden here, launched rafts from here, and swam here. Great in the summer, beautiful in the winter. If you want a lazy afternoon or an epic bike ride, this isnt the worst place to end up. Enjoy!

Great place to take your dogs and let them run freely.

Good for hiking and biking.

Pleasant walk, far enough from the roads to feel secluded although its a little hard to get near the water which is what I was hoping for. Walking here in early November was amazing

It has the best trails on the American river.

Great place to take a ride on beautiful Horses, very friendly instructors and service.

An incredible amount of gold was pulled from the American River at this location!Not a yard of dirt in this area has not been turned over in the search for the precious.Dredged it before the clean water laws were enacted.

Nice local hike. Very peaceful.

Beautiful trails highly recommend

Winding trails, both paved and gravel, coupled with scenic views and nature. What more can you ask for as a runner.

Great hiking trails along the river. Horse stables for horseback riding and rock piles to climb and explore. Nice place to take a walk.

Love the water. Cold, calm river water. Needs restrooms. Pay on your own pay station. Rock beach, not easy to walk on and slippery in water.

Me and my son love the rides threw there

Of course this is the jewel that belongs to the Sacramento suburbs. Most major metros have some sort of River,Creek, lake, but Im partial to ours. Not just because of proximity and tribalism. It truly is unique with a great group of neighbors who respect each other, Sierras in view at all times. Cyclists, runners, photographers, anglers, hikers, boaters, equestrians, and just plain sitting around next to the water . It is a true beauty, and the community shows its love, care, and respect for the land and resource.

I dont often go to the river but I like this spot because there is actually a Sandy Beach and quite a bit of shoreline to go with it. The bathrooms are well kept and there arent as many homeless. Well perhaps you just dont see them as much since its a bit further from an off ramp.

Great place to explore

Year round RV park in Truckee. They have some sites that they rent out on a daily basis while others are available for a month or the entire summer. Its pretty convenient to Northstar and Squaw ski resorts and north shore Lake Tahoe. There are lots of pine trees and close to I-80, but you dont really hear the traffic.

Lake Natomas is a nice relaxing Lake you can also rent Kayaks all around the lake two or three locations makes for a nice relaxing day

Great area near my home. Girlfriend and I found a new trail to hike with the dogs@

Life guards, nature, and bathrooms.

Great walk, easy, flat.

Great family area, calm waters for kayaking and for the kids to play in. Very scenic with lots of coves to kayak thru. Also has a place to rent kayaks and paddleboards.

Beautiful place for running, walking, fishing, canoeing, exploring, adventuring with kids... Every season offers new discoveries and fun. Observe water fowl, deer, coyotes, eagles, and more!

Probably the best in the Sacramento area. Decent variety of food, service is great. Not very expressive. You will leave with a full stomach

It is well kept up there is alot of nature and lots to explore

Come watch the sun rise! Best way to start the day!

We live really close so I like to take my son out walking the trails at Mississippi bar a couple of times a week. Thats a great place to go out and observe nature. We see various birds and Ive seen a coyote out here before. Its great for walking and bicycling.

Great nature spot with lots of Geocaches to discover. Cant believe how out of shape I am! Im sure and exhausted after a .7 mile hike with my 90-year-old father across boulders and hills. Wish we were in better shape, could have walked down to the river...

A beautiful easy walk on trails or the paved bike path by the American River. It can be busy with people, which can be good if youre going alone.

Nice and wet

Great place to take a hike or a walk.

Its great to get out in the fresh air, commune with nature and animals a little bit, and challenge yourself on some uneven Terrain to help maintain your health and strength.

Happy to eat food from there...

Such a beautiful peaceful walk along the water, and if you bring your dog make sure to leash them.

Great place for a stroll through the woods, or through a field, or over rock hills (the topography varies quite a bit). Vernal pools in the spring, so its a good place to go observe aquatic microorganisms.

Beautiful n take your dog!

Absolutely beautiful

Great trails but horrible truths behind the scenes.

I built all the walkways in this park. Its a great place to take friends and family, especially your kids. Its safe and you get to see alligators close to you and show your kids this too. You can fish off most of the area peers as well.

Beautiful out there! Saw Mt, Shasta ,Mt Lassen, Pyramid Peak , Yosemite lot of snow in the high elevations could see over 200miles. Beautiful!!

Would be nice is bicyclists respected the NO BIKES signs on certain trails and not run walkers with dogs off the trails. Happened several times in the course of a single morning. Extremely RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL.

Expansive. Good trails. Shadow Glen Stables. Teichert Ponds.

Beautiful

Great trail all around the lake, but careful of all the Poison Oak... lots of variations of it as well.

Its really beautiful right now and a great place to hike.

Awesome place to bbq, lay around, and let the kids play in the water.

Wonderful Riverside run/ride path. Both off-road and paved available, its a great escape from the suburban atmosphere

Beautiful and protected Blue Oak Trees overlooking the American River, and its nice to go down into the water during the summertime. Nice place to bring family out to be in nature or get some alone time to reflect and observe.

Mississippi bar has quite a few hiking trails that are absolutely beautiful .

Nice place to go kayaking fishing or swimming just can be a little pain in the access but its a good place to go.

So relaxing and enjoyable for kyaking.

Perfect place for my daily walks. Beautiful and peaceful...

Always a great place to kayak!

Always a nice walk...

Quiet with not a lot of other people around.

Great hike. A lot of shade.

Tara is a thief and very rude. Steals and sells items to the public on Let Go and Offer Up

Awesome place to see both the sunrise and the sunset! Great views of the lake too! Gates open just before sunrise and close just after sunset. If you want to leave your and go for a hike or bike ride you have to pay like 5$ but otherwise you can chill up there as long as you want in your car for free..

Beautiful place to visit. Well kept and very peaceful.

Easy access to running trails great place to train hills with flat options. Best during weekdays.

It is a beautiful place, and a nice trail to the water.

Fun spot to hike with the family . All sorts of animals to see

Great place for some walking in the nature is beautiful

Great nature trails. Awesome for walking dogs and great for kids.

A great local and secluded fun relaxing spot on the river...

Met them while was hiking

Great area to hike with dogs. An easy hike on mostly level paths.

Great walking trails! Lots of places to explore.

It was nice, but not as much gumbo or liquor as the name implies.
