Every year, millions of people descend on the 32-mile Jedediah Smith Memorial Bicycle Trail along the American River Parkway to bike, jog, walk, skate, or go horse-back riding. The bike trail is also a popular spot for special events. It is important that all trail users, regardless of skill level, obey the rules of the bike trail and share the trail.

Below is a list of ongoing events and projects that will affect traffic on the bike trail:
