The official name is the '''Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail''', and it is part of the coast-to-coast American Discovery Trail. Roughly [http://www.saccycle.com/bikewaymaps/map6.htm 33 miles] long, it is set away from major metropolitan areas, providing a peaceful and beautiful getaway. The trail officially starts in Discovery Park at mile marker zero, and heads due East to Beals Point (about where mile marker 32 would be). Mile markers appear every half-mile along the trail. The distance between Old Sacramento and mile marker zero is roughly one mile, bringing the total end-to-end trip to almost 33 miles. Open to foot-traffic and ["Bicycles" cyclists], the trail is also one of the few places in ["Sacramento"] to formally allow ["horses"]. A 15 MPH speed limit is in effect. Be aware that the off-road trails are not for bikes, even if you have the best mountain bike in the world. You will be cited and possibly fined if caught. Likewise, citations are commonly issued for walking dogs or riding horses on the paved bike trail, walking dogs off their leash, and not cleaning up after your dog. The trail is maintained by the county of Sacramento.
