The Sacramento River is the longest river in California, stretching about 447 miles from the Klamath Mountains to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. It plays a crucial role in the state's ecosystem and water supply, supporting agriculture, wildlife, and communities along its banks. The river is a vital resource for irrigation and drinking water and is also popular for recreational activities like fishing, boating, and hiking. The Sacramento River Basin is home to diverse plants and wildlife, including salmon, which rely on the river for their life cycle. It has a rich history linked to California's development.
