Lake Natoma Kayaking
| The background picture is proof you can kayak on folsom lake, and its very pretty, just make sure you go early before the yahoo's get there. |
There are a couple of lakes in this immediate area. My favorite is Lake Natoma, this lake was created by the Nimbus Damn off of hazel. It doesn't allow gas motored boats so the lake usually isn't too busy on its busiest days. The entire lake is 5 mph zone, so its perfect for sailing, kayaking etc.
During the week no one is there and it is a great way to just chill and relax with my wonderful wife.

 River Areas |
There are about 17 miles or so of trails around the area. The paved bike trails go from granite bay, all the way to discovery park which is pretty awesome.
Another thing I enjoy about this lake, is the respect folks tend to have for it... I would have to say that it might be because more locals use it then travelers? Not sure, but Folsom lake costs you 120 a year for a pass without boats, $10 each visit without, and they have so much trash during the main season it is just sad. We try not to even go to folsom lake during the summer.
