The Sacramento River National Recreation Trail is the heart of Redding’s growing trail system. Meandering more than 12 miles along the banks of the cool and clear Sacramento River, the trail offers spectacular views, quality watchable wildlife opportunities, and now, access to Shasta Dam. The most recent leg of this nationally acclaimed trail was completed in late 2008 and offers pedestrians the opportunity to walk, bicycle, run, or skate their way nearly 5 additional miles to Shasta Dam.
