| Along the lower South Fork, the Conservancy
worked diligently to acquire the 1,414 Cronan Ranch. On May 17, 2005, it was turned over to the Bureau of Land Management and officially became the Cronan Ranch Regional Trails and Park. |
|
|
Through the hard work of staff, volunteers and contractors,
the Conservancy installed a new gate, fencing, parking lot and visitors'
kiosk at the trailhead off Highway 49 and Pedro Hill Road, just south
of Pilot Hill. The public is invited to enjoy the park and its 12
miles of scenic trail for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and
other non-motorized recreation from dusk to dawn. Please contact Elena at (530) 621-1224 or elena@arconservancy.org
if you would like to participate in trail building and trail maintenance
along the South Fork American River. |

We continue to seek donor funding to assist with additional
land acquisitions and trail construction between the Cronan Ranch and
the Salmon Falls area of Folsom Lake.
The trail corridor along the lower South Fork is part of a larger concept for a Sutter's Fort to Sutter's Mill trail that the Conservancy is promoting, which would stretch from Sacramento, all the way to Marshall Gold Discovery State Park in Coloma. Since 1989, the Conservancy has protected 3,644 acres along the South Fork American River between Chili Bar Reservoir and Folsom Lake. |
