This American River access point is a popular take-out spot for rafters, canoeists and kayakers. Fishing is popular here, though swimming and wading are also popular, they should be done with great care in this area. A small ramp makes launching and take-out easy.<\/p>\n

How to Get There<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

From U.S. Highway 50, take the Watt Avenue North exit. Stay in the right lane and exit at La Riviera Drive. Make a left at the end of the La Riviera ramp, and then make a right into the park’s gates.<\/p>\n

Watt Avenue Access is conveniently located just off busy Watt Ave. Perhaps you’ll catch a glimpse of the mysterious “rock artist” who leaves piles of rocks in decorative patterns that can be seen from the street above. Or maybe a tailgate lunch and a raft, canoe or kayak trip is in order. If it’s fishing season, find a shady spot beside the river and relax and enjoy this favorite outdoor sport.<\/p>\n
