Review:

Housed within the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area, Lake Natoma spans nearly 500 acres and is a sight for several family friendly activities. Locals and visitors head there during the warmer months to go swimming, kayaking, rowing, canoeing, water skiing, fishing, and boating - you can also witness several championship events such as the West Coast College Rowing Championships, which are held on the lake throughout the year. While you’re there, you’ll also be able to explore the historic Negro Bar which is located by the lake on what was once the site of a gold rush era African-American mining camp. Other activities you can partake in around the lake include biking, hiking, picnicking, and horseback riding.
