Sacramento County regional parks close from sunset or 10 PM to sunrise depending on the park. Entering a closed park is an infraction unless by permit or for authorized fishing areas.
Sacramento County Regional Parks (including the American River Parkway, Gibson Ranch, Elk Grove Regional Park, and others) are generally open from sunrise to sunset, with some sites permitting access until 10 PM during extended summer hours. Overnight camping is prohibited except at designated campgrounds (Beals Point at Folsom Lake is operated by State Parks). The American River Parkway is specifically closed overnight to stop illegal camping and fires. Fishing access points may have extended hours with a valid CDFW license. Violations are infractions under county code.
