Folsom Lake offers some of the best paddling
experiences imaginable along its 75 miles of
shoreline. Visitors will discover sandy
beaches, secluded coves, and crystal-clear
waters that reveal the lake's scenic depths.
Nestled at the base of the Sierra foothills
along the American River, Folsom Lake is
surrounded by panoramic views of rolling
hills that burst with wildflowers in early
spring. Located about 30 miles east of
Sacramento in Northern California's Gold
Country, the lake's diverse topography
ranges from willow groves and oak-speckled
hills to rocky creeks and sandy beaches, as
well as miles of beautifully preserved
wetlands and streams.
As one of the most popular attractions in
the City of Folsom, the lake appeals to
visitors of all interests. Its proximity to
Sacramento has helped transform it into a
vibrant waterfront playground. Water
enthusiasts can indulge in a variety of
aquatic activities, including windsurfing,
kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, sailing,
jet and water skiing, kayak fishing, and
swimming.
Folsom
Lake is full of outdoor activities for every
age, taste, and preference. With fishing,
boating, and watersports along with the
spectacular scenery surrounding the lake,
there is something to please any outdoor
enthusiast.
