This Store has a lot to offer and is well stocked with bikes, and accessories when we came in today. We will definitely be back to this location for our next bike services.

I made my decision and couldn't be happier with my choice or the level of service provided by Slater, who helped me through the process. Even though they are a large company with numerous stores, you feel like you are buying from a locally owned business. I highly recommend.

We learned about the gold in the area, the miners, the mining district, and the fate of the local natives. The leader, David, was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed a beautiful 3-mile hike over gentle hills. It was an easy hike, although some of the terrain was rocky and uneven, and we had to find a path through a couple of small streams. Not a problem for most, but some older folk were glad they had their hiking poles. I was glad I had my waterproof hiking shoes. The Preserve is open to the public on Saturdays from Feb - May, and then again in the fall. Check the website for access hours. You can hike on your own, or register for one of the docent-led hikes. Also, the road to access Deer Creek Hills is not paved, and there is a small stream you have to drive through to get to the hiking area, so a four-wheel drive is a good idea. Those without high-clearance vehicles parked their cars along the side of the road before the stream, and hiked to the trailhead.

3/27/2026: First-Born Daughter drove underneath Johnny Cash Bridge Trail…read more Backstory: During Easter 2016, I packed well over 10K worth of household goods and commissioned a Folsom Storage Company storing my possessions. Next, I began camping reservations using my Veteran's Park Pass at Beals State Park Campground, Rattlesnake State Park Campground, Yosemite's Wawona Campground, Turlock State Park Campground, welp~pretty much all State and Federal Campgrounds WEST of The Rocky Mountains, etc. camping one week each from Easter 2016 until, July 2017. It was fun camping everywhere due to the fact I was HOMELESS~eek; however, my El Dorado County House was finally built and completed its construction at the end of July 2017. Then, my homelessness happily ended. Anyway, while camping at both State Parks--Beals State Park Campground and Rattlesnake State Park Campground plus, driving on Natomas Road and the Folsom-Auburn Road were all undergoing major construction. The State Parks and the roads were ALL a humongous mess especially, Natomas Road! Driving from Beals State Park to Ranch 99 to Oaks Parkway via Natomas Road, there were Earth Movers dotting the roadway--traffic was backed up causing a lot of congestion. Then, I noticed two pillars and a bridge connecting the two pillars under construction . . . Questioning--What was the reason for the building construction and the reason observing one pillar built on each side of Natomas Road: "Gee~is there going to be a gate access to FOLSOM PRISON????" Regardless, I was shocked! I just didn't understand why the City Of Folsom would install two pillars and a bridge which just happens to be ADJACENT and less than a quarter mile from FOLSOM PRISON! About a year later, I noticed the Johnny Cash sign! Ahhhhh~~The two pillars and the bridge happens to be a commemoration for Johnny Cash performing at FOLSOM PRISON! Aside, I know I took photos of the two pillars and the bridge posting my photos on YELP! YET, I can't find none of my photos I took of the two pillars and bridge as well as all my photos camping at Beals State Park, the Folsom Dam construction, etc.! Where did ALL my photos go, eh, YELP???? https://yelp.to/5ZZoZwPyyO

The Johnny Cash Overpass Bridge is a concrete bike bridge over Folsom Lake Crossing near East…read moreNatoma in Folsom. It was constructed in 2017 with recycled and reclaimed materials. Starting where the American River Bike auxiliary trail over Folsom Dam ends, this is officially the beginning of the Johnny Cash Art Trail. The bridge itself is art, with architecture similar to the nearby Folsom Prison. According to the website, the towers on either side of the bridge are modeled after the East Gate at the prison, where Johnny Cash took some of his most famous photos. Several planned public art works are to be placed near the bridge in the future, including the Man in Black, the Ring of Fire, the Rusty Cage, and Cash's Pick. Throughout the year, the bridge is amply decorated with flags and lights, depending on the season. Pretty soon, it should be decorated with military flags to celebrate Memorial Day. After that, it will feature American flags for most of the summer. Riding (or walking) over the bridge takes one through the two lines of flags (since they're hung over both sides of the bridge, which is also the trail). On a windy day, the noise of the flags flapping fades out the sounds of traffic down below. For selfie enthusiasts, the bridge makes an excellent backdrop, with or without the flags. Currently, the nearest parking is either in the Brigg's Ranch area, or on the other side of the dam. In the future, there is going to be a new parking lot for the trail on the corner of Folsom Lake Crossing and East Natoma, which is practically next to the bridge. According to the website, it will feature 25 parking spaces, 2 of which will be ADA accessible. Overall, this bridge is sturdy, convenient, beautiful, and environmentally friendly. I can't wait to see what it looks like when all of the nearby art installations are complete.

It starts you off with climbing then when your legs are about to fall off....you climb somemore. About an hour of climbing you finally reach the top and you are rewared with a nice view of the South Fork American River with the happy rafters riding down it. Look to your right and you get a really nice view of Salmon Falls bridge and Folsom Lake. Unlike the Salmon Falls Trail you share this one with equestrians so look out as you're flying down that hill. Definitly an advanced trail for mountain bikers. I couldn't find a good website for this trial so I linked the Sacbee article please feel free to update that if you find something better. http://www.sacbee.com/2010/09/30/3066300/south-fork-american-river-trail.html I want to thank American River Conservancy and the federal Bureau of Land Management and all those that donated for all their time and hard work and for providing us with this new trail for our recreation.

If you're in Sacramento and love the outdoors, this trail is a must.
