Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail, National Recreation Trail in Sacramento, California, US.

Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail is a 32-mile paved multi-use pathway running from the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers, just north of downtown Sacramento, to Beal's Point at Folsom Lake. The asphalt surface is marked with a faded yellow dashed centerline and painted mile markers every half-mile. The trail passes Discovery Park, the Guy West Bridge, California State University Sacramento, the Nimbus Fish Hatchery, Lake Natoma, and Folsom Lake.

The trail's name honors fur trader Jedediah Smith, who traveled through this region in the early 1800s. The modern path was developed later and became a popular cycling route for local recreation enthusiasts.

The trail connects Sacramento residents with outdoor recreation and brings together cyclists, walkers, and families seeking time in nature near the city. Its wide paved surface welcomes people of different ages and abilities to enjoy the same space together.

The path has multiple entry points between Sacramento and Folsom Lake, making it easy to access from different locations. Water fountains and restrooms are placed along the way, so visitors can spend hours without needing to plan ahead for supplies.

The trail is marked with painted mile markers every half-mile, maintained by Sacramento County. As of 2020, coyotes have become more common along the route and are increasingly accustomed to people, so sightings are likelier than in earlier decades.
