What travelers are saying
- lwoudstraBrentwood, CA427 contributionsThis is a popular place for paddle boarding! We actually went to Folsom Lake first, but the waterline was about 1/4 mile from the Parking Lot, so we came here instead. The water was calm and easy to paddle. Going north, you go under 3 bridges. There are rocky areas where you can stop and rest. Many people jump off the rocks to swim. The water was extra cold compared to other lakes in CA. I’m giving it 4/5 Stars because of the lack of signage to the boat launch area. We accessed the water at the Natoma Northern Boat Ramp at Black Miners Bar. Once you drive into the Parking Lot, there are no signs to show where the boat launch area is located. Fortunately, there were a couple of Park Rangers in the Lot so we asked for directions. The Ranger in the entrance booth didn’t give us any directions either. Once we found our way down to the launch area, it was super busy! It’s a very small area to unload your gear. There’s a 15 minute parking limit. We quickly inflated our 3 SUPs and unloaded our gear to the side of the lot. Hubby drove the truck back up to the main parking lot. It’s a long walk to and from the lot to the launch area (going uphill going back). There aren’t any shades either in the main parking lot and in the launch area. I’d recommend going after 2:00 pm to avoid the crush of crowds. We will definitely return for more SUP fun!Written September 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Julie RFolsom, CA8 contributionsGreat small zoo for families with little ones. Small enough that they won't get tired, but still has a great variety of animals.Written June 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AppMyHomeEl Dorado Hills, CA484 contributionsWe've ridden by this place on our bikes for years but today we were walking and stopped ion to check it out. If you park in the lot there is a fee but otherwise visiting the museum and the powerhouse is free. It's a small little museum but has some really interesting exhibits that prepare you for the historic powerhouse. Staff are really knowledgeable and friendly. A interesting place to learn about Folsom's history and how it brought electricity to the area. Plus, super clean restrooms!Written January 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- MinnieApaFolsom, CA79 contributionsThis place has so much to offer. You can ride your bike on the bike trails that goes for miles, go running, go swimming, fishing or just hangout .
There’s areas where you can have a picnic , there’s a trailer park and camping grounds too.
We take our dogs for a walk around here three to four times a week but avoid it on weekends when it gets so busy.Written June 19, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Historic Folsom has some great shops and many eateries. A must!Written December 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kstr0th4 contributionsWe’ve been several times to the performances at Sutter Street Theatre... We always come away very impressed with the entertainment they provide. The theatre is small (advance tickets are advised) and the seating is not luxurious, but remember you’re in Old Town Folsom, so it’s all part of the experience!! At intermission, you can purchase their refreshments, or, walk down the street to the Snooks candy shop for yummy caramel corn or a hand-dipped ice cream cone!! And, of course, there’s numerous restaurant choices for a meal before or after the show all a walkable distance from the theatre. Ticket prices are reasonable and there’s usually choices of shows to appeal to families or adults. A great place to go for a matinee or an evening!!Written February 8, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 878thelmabSacramento, CA37 contributionsWe took the short self guided tour and were lucky enough to be there when they started up the bottling line. Guided tours are also available and Sake tasting also. A small selection of gifts and products to buy are also in the tasting room.It was very interesting, very informal and worth the trip.Written October 15, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
