Fun Along the American River in Rancho Cordova



The Greater Sacramento Area enjoyed temperatures of around 70 degrees today; and I spent a good part of it with two grand daughters.  The girls were on a mission to fish, and to hunt crawdads.  The community of Rancho Cordova has delightful Hagan Community Park consisting of 75 acres.  The park itself boasts facilities consisting of a Community Center, 3 swimming pools, 8 tennis courts, 8 group picnic areas, 3 baseball fields, 3 soccer fields, basketball court, petting zoo, play grounds, tot lots, fitness course, and scale model steam train railroad. There is access to the American River Bike Trail and foot access to the American River.

Over the course of several hours this afternoon, we spent time in Hagan Community Park trying to catch the illusive fish in the ponds, and we watched the ducks for awhile, before walking a few steps to the American River to try our luck there.  Along the Bike Trail, we saw a number of wild turkeys doing the Turkey Trot for Spring.  We came home skunked (no fish and no crawdads), but we still had a great time anyway.  The slide show above provides a glimpse into our day.

Here's a link to the Cordova Recreation and Park District for information on facilities, and events.
