Sacramento River

Originating in the northern Klamath Mountains near Mt. Shasta, the Sacramento River stretches 445 miles, making it California’s longest river, and ultimately empties into the San Francisco Bay. Along its course, visitors can enjoy a variety of experiences. In Old Town Sacramento, the riverbanks offer a scenic backdrop for leisurely strolls. Further upstream, in areas like Red Bluff and Redding, the river attracts outdoor enthusiasts with opportunities for camping, canoeing, and fishing. The river’s diverse landscapes and activities make it a central feature of the region.
