Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail

The trail is 32 miles (51 km) long, and is used as a major recreational destination, as well as a commuter artery for cyclists.

The trail is maintained by the County of Sacramento and is painted with mile markers placed at every half-mile increment.

The trail fell into disrepair until it was reexamined as a transportation route by cyclists in the 1970s, when the pathway was paved.

A section of the trail was later added that runs along the south side of Lake Natoma and into downtown Folsom.

The recreational areas of Discovery Park, Sutter's Landing Park (the point at which John Sutter, founder of Sacramento and notable area entrepreneur, first arrived), the Guy West Bridge (a scaled down reproduction of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge), California State University, Sacramento (or, more commonly, Sacramento State), William B. Pond Recreation Area, River Bend Park, the Fair Oaks walking bridge, the Nimbus Fish Hatchery, Lake Natoma and Folsom Lake.
