Book Hotels in Rancho Cordova, CA

Visiting Rancho Cordova

A prime spot for beholding the river is River Bend Park, a wildlife-rich preserve within easy reach of most Rancho Cordova hotels. Pack a picnic and stroll the park's pathways seeking an ideal spot to sit. Lush lawns under groves of young oaks offer a sunny seat while the leafy canopies of more ancient woodland tracts provide cool shade and a hiding place for skittish deer and scuttling wild turkeys. Tread a crunching path along the gravelly river's edge and step into the shallows to treat your feet to the exhilarating sensation of sinking under cool, lapping waters. You might share the park with giddy-grinned adventurers returning to dry land after a white-water rafting trip. Front desk staff at hotels in Rancho Cordova can refer you to numerous local companies who will take you on your own such thrill ride. Or, you could rent a bike and ride from River Bend Park down the Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail, a 32-mile route parallel to the river. Rancho Cordova rental cars offer a more convenient way to get to Sacramento and continue your adventures in the state capital.
