    July 3, 2024

    Folsom Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the American River just east of Folsom, about 25 miles northeast of Sacramento. The dam is 340 ft (100 m) high and 1,400 ft (430 m) long, flanked by earthen wing dams. It was completed in 1955 at the junction of the north and south forks of the American River as part of the Central Valley Project that provides flood control, hydroelectricity, irrigation, and municipal water supply.
