Sacramento's Riverfront
Old Sacramento California
The riverfront of Sacramento was the supply port for the gold camps and towns of the northern Mother Lode. It has now been restored to a semblance of its late nineteetnh century appearance as part of Old Sacramento State Historical Park.
Gold-painted Tower Bridge was a landmark on the Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental highway. Paddlewheel steamers once again ply the river, for day excursions and dinner cruises, and serve as floating restaurants and hotels.
