Our sparkling waterways provide ample opportunities to rent stand up paddleboards and kayaks for quiet morning paddles.
Soil Born Farms Urban Agriculture & Education Project is one of the Sacramento region's greatest eco-friendly delights. Step off the beaten path and into the carefully-tended grounds on Saturday morning to enjoy a farm-fresh brunch and delicious produce stands from 8am-1pm.

With all this excitement, Sacramento will be buzzing with visitors from around the globe. That’s why your best move is booking your overnight stay in Rancho Cordova, just 15 minutes from the heart of the hubbub and right off an easy freeway exit.
