Hiking
Stretching for miles along the south fork of the American River, this trail serves up gorgeous views of the waterway and Folsom Lake. As you meander along the rolling trail, you'll pass small beaches that invite you to stop and enjoy the scenery. Watch kayakers paddle along the glassy lake waters and keep an eye out for wildlife like ospreys fishing along the river.
