American River Parkway - Staging at the Nimbus Fish Hatchery



Staging area (overflow parking) near the fish hatchery for the American River pathway - very large parking area, any size rig. No shade or amenities.


Horse trail next to the bike path - only part of the trails are like this and the bikes can go by very fast.


Single track horse trail - no bikes allowed on these trails.


Signage for the horse trails.


Single track horse trail - sign to left says no bikes.


Picnic tables located not too far from the staging area along the trail - river in the back ground.



Another park area located along the trail not too far from the staging area - picnic tables and bathrooms.


Trail along side the bike path - can be very busy with bikes and pedestrians. The bikes can go very fast and with little or no warning on their approach.



Shaded single track trail.

Wide open trail - before you get to the bridge below.


You need to go over this bridge to continue - coming off a horse trail to it. Watch out for bikes.
