The marina is tucked away in a basin behind Miller Park off the main channel of the Sacramento River. From the Freeport Bridge coming upriver, we are approximately 10 nautical miles, just around the bend of Miller Park Launch Ramp (look to starboard side of boat).

From Old Sacramento, we are about one mile downriver, just around the bend of Miller Park (look to port side of boat).

Directions by bike

Bike enthusiasts have long started and ended their destinations right here at the Sacramento Marina. As a “go between” between the trail near Sutterville Road and Old Sacramento, it’s the perfect location to meet up, use the restroom facilities at the launch ramp and get a drink or snack in the Marina Administration Office.

Boaters in the marina have the option to get to where they need to go by their bicycle and do so often! Short rides abound to Old Sacramento, downtown, Broadway Blvd and Raley Field. The map below displays connection to the American River Bike Trail. Map your next ride and share with us!
