Gristmill Access on the American River offers a vehicle-accessible cobblestone bar that serves as a convenient takeout point for rafters and a good car-top launching area for fishing boats.

The site features informal trails extending both upstream and downstream along the river, with amenities including year-round parking (fee required) and access for hikers, anglers, boaters, and equestrians.

Located off Mira Del Rio Drive in Sacramento County, the area is open sunrise to sunset.
