1​​/3/2023 Update

The Sacramento County Department of Regional Parks is closing all parks within its jurisdiction, effective Wednesday, Jan. 4. With the storm that just passed saturating the area's soil, Regional Parks is preparing for the likely event that gusts from the upcoming storm system will bring down a large number of trees.

The American River Multi-Use and Dry Creek Parkway trails will also be closed, so bicycle commuters are urged to find alternative routes. 

This closure is expected to last through Thursday, Jan. 5, with the potential to extend into Friday, Jan. 6, depending on weather and park conditions.

Rangers and maintenance teams have begun to alert people in the affected areas so that they are aware of the hazard posed by fallen trees.

 

For information about park and trail closures, visit the Park Status Update webpage.

Due to the incoming storms, there is the potential for localized flooding. If you haven't already, sign up for direct alerts to your phone or email through Sacramento-alert.org. These alerts will only be sent out for critical emergency information like flooding or potential evacuation orders.
