Memorial Day weekend is just days away, and the beginning of the summer recreation season is here! The Sacramento County Department of Regional Parks would like to remind visitors about ways to stay safe while enjoying local parks and rivers.

The American River is going to be cold this weekend, and Regional Parks wants to make it explicitly clear that cold water can quickly become dangerous water – so don’t underestimate it.

Life Looks Good On You—and so does a life vest! Before you dive in, put on a life vest. There are borrowing stations along Sacramento’s waterways. Remember, even the strongest swimmer can be pulled under by the strong river currents.
