Ancil Hoffman Park

Wed

Yes

You can pay for annual pass, which works great. ...or pay at the station when entering. When you get an annual pass, you find yourself going more often. Its wonderful

Effie Yeaw Ctr is a good start https://www.sacnaturecenter.net

I've seen many people fly them here

Fireworks are shown at Hagen park in Rancho cordova

Lots of folks fish at Grist Mill @ American River (access on both sides of the River). This is below Ancil Hoffman.

Use the back entrance by the Nature Center so you don't have to pay to get in the park right outside the back side of the nature center park your car and walk in plenty of trees to hang a hammock and if you get hot jump out of your hammock and jump in the American River

👣💞👣 To find Ancile Hoffman Park, it's East off California St. Find Fair Oaks Blvd Going E/W, turn South, after several blocks, the park will have a sign saying Ancile Hoffman Park! It costs $5.00 a day! (Seasonal tickets can be bought for around $55.00 p/yr!) (The BEST part is that pass gets you in FREE all yr to any park along The American River!) Its "Magnificent"!!! Remember: If you haul anything in, you can also haul it OUT again! "Love our Earth kindly!"👣💞👣 ( This was in answer to: Belinda Wilhelm 🍀🌎🌸

I saw some people reserve the benches which BBQ pits are close to the benches. So it would be better to reserve the area if you want bench and BBQ pit, because BBQ pits are less than 10 and its reserved or first come first serve.

$6 parking per car

I believe so

Yes

There are Park Ranger/Security personnel that patrol near and at the closing time to ensure all visitors leave during sundown.

Swimming in any river can be dangerous because of the current. Even in shallow water the bottom shifts because of rapid currents. If you decide to go, be sure to wear a safety vest. There are signs with warnings, which people ignore. Many die in this river every year. Be safe!

Sure you can.

Yes it some spots but not all.

At a park? Is this a serious question?

Last time I was there they removed all the targets.

Drive in, remember to pay the $5 parking or you will be ticketed, head straight back. Whe you come to the stop sign you can go right/forward to the gold course and the river will be on your left. I suggest going left towards the Effie Yaw Nature Center. They have educational exhibits and great paths that take you right to the river.

I am pretty sure it's still $5.

No it's a walk through untamed brush, but it's quite and peaceful when you get to it. Try Sarah court park it's a 100 foot walk

5 per vehicle. All day parking.

No

There is plenty of parking

7 dollars to park. Then it is about a quarter of a mile to the rocky shore whete you will have to walk through to get to the water. There are benches in the shade where you can look out at the river

No

Fishing there is best up-river jusr a tad at Effie Year Nature Center.

Well, it does cost money if you bring your car in if you park inside. $5. But if you park outside you can certainly walk in for free. It's an awesome place to run with your dog!
