From Laura along State Avenue-
“While I know it’s not healthy for them to be in the American River’s fresh water for a long period of time, it’s still pretty awesome to come across these guys while walking along the river’s edge!
It appears, what was believed to have only been one sea lion hanging out at the river, has now become THREE!”

SACRAMENTO–

Sea lions have again been spotted along the American River.

Several sea lions were spotted during the middle of January, with the sightings coming near the Harrington Way access point in Carmichael.

Fishermen have told FOX40 that sea lions have been seen in previous years during salmon season.
