Trail outings along Sacramento’s Lower American River

Ashley Shult Langdon’s guide organizes Lower American River trails and entry points into short outings, moving from downtown Sacramento toward Lake Natoma. The route’s range of landscapes—from wooded paths and grassy meadows to bluffs, sandy stretches and rocky washes—gives the book a strong sense of place. Its chapters frame the area as a resource for different kinds of visits, including a riverside picnic, a trail loop, a dog walk or time by the water. The guide covers the river corridor’s 4,800 acres, making access and choice of outing central to its approach to exploring this stretch of Northern California.
