Lake Natoma is a freshwater reservoir created by the Nimbus Dam. This is a particularly good spot to stop and catch a good photo opportunity with the clear waters of the lake behind you.

Nimbus Dam was built along the American River, and from this point, you get a good view of it. There’s a fish hatchery and a viewing area nearby, and the paved bike path runs right past it.

Expect access to Marlette Lake to be pretty much nonexistent through 2026, as the nearby trails are closed for repairs at the Marlette Lake dam.

This forest service road is a popular approach route to Marlette Lake, but it's expected to be closed through 2026 for repairs to the Marlette Lake dam. Until this trail reopens, the Capital to Tahoe Trail is a good riding alternative in the area.

The open air museum can be crossed free of charge. Trails also run on both sides, along Sutter as well as Leidesdorff Streets.

Folsom Historic District is a small area of town that is representative of some of the cultural history of Folsom, dating back to the 1850s. This spot has hundreds of businesses and tons of historical landmarks discussing gold prospectors, the Pony Express, and other notable notches on the city's timeline.

Well-preserved and lovingly restored railway depot of the original Folsom station, and the cool original turnaround. It had a prime location along the railway line climbing across the Sierra Nevada via Donner Pass. Today it hosts a visitor center, also with information about the adjoining museum.

Great views while crossing the river on a dedicated bike bridge. Note the fish ladder in the river, an attempt at helping the salmon and other fish survive man's interventions in the natural river course.
