Folsom Lake State Recreation Hiking Trail
Folsom Lake Hiking Trail
Folsom, CA
Folsom Lake
Folsom Lake is a reservoir on the American River in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California.
Folsom Lake located within Placer, El Dorado, and Sacramento Counties. It is about 25 mi northeast of Sacramento. Folsom Lake contains 11,500 acres of water. The lake has a surface elevation of 466 feet. There are 75 miles of undulated shoreline surrounding the lake. Folsom lake and the surrounding Folsom Lake State Recreation Area is one of the most visited parks in the California Park system.
The largest and most natural part of the lake area is the Peninsula which is approximately 1,465 acres.The Folsom Lake reservoir is formed by Folsom Dam, built in 1955 to control and retain the American River. The dam and reservoir are part of the Folsom Project, which also includes the Nimbus afterbay reservoir and dam facilities. The Folsom Project, operated by the United States Bureau of Reclamation, is part of the Central Valley Project, a multipurpose project that provides flood control, hydroelectricity, drinking water, and water for irrigation.
When the dam was built it was designed to hold 976,000 acre feet with a surface area of 11,450 acres. The Dam is 1400 feet wide and 340 feet high, it is a concrete structure with approximately 9 miles of earth fill wing dams and dikes supporting its surrounding areas.
This will most likely be redone later due to the cold weather and lack of access. Soon, I will make a final cut for this video but for now, this lake is finished.
Thanks for watching!

Road Ready Campground Review | Trail In Campground | Lakehead CA
Road Ready Campground Review, Trail In Campground, Lakehead CA.
During our trek south, we decided to stop at this Passport America Campground. If you dont know what Passport America is, its a membership program where you get 50% off on over 1900 campgrounds in their system. So we decided to stop at Trail In Campground in Lakehead CA. Its a short drive from Redding, MT Shasta, Shasta Lake, and a plethera of outdoor activities in Northern California. The theme of this park is Cheap and Convenient. Its located right off of I5, with large pull thrus, Full Hook up and 50 Amp power. It is definitely a bit run down, but the staff was super friendly, and you can see they are in the out of season mode. Lots of trash on the ground, and stuff that needs cleaned up.

CALIFORNIA CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT SAN JOAQUIN RIVER CANAL & IRRIGATION SYSTEM FILM 63384
Presented by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation and produced by Raphael Wolff Studios, California Central Valley Basin is an educational film on the Central Valley Project (CVP), highlighting the project’s dams, reservoirs, canals, and water distribution throughout California’s Central Valley Basin. The film opens with shots of the San Joaquin River and the canals of the valley. The CVP allows for better flood control and more consistent irrigation of the basin, enabling higher yields in the produce grown there. Orchards are irrigated by the project (00:45); a tractor plows soil on a farm in the valley (01:04). The film shows various shots of the valley, including farms, fields, towns, and grocery stores. A topographical map shows Central Valley with the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers running through it. A couple fishes at one of the valley’s canals (04:17). Graphics are used to show how the damming of the San Joaquin River diverts water to more arid areas of Central Valley. The film then takes viewers to Shasta Dam, with Shasta Lake and Mt. Shasta in the background (05:56). A boat motors out on Shasta Lake (06:30). A hydroelectric dam on the Sacramento River generates power for the region (07:11). A man goes waterskiing on Shasta Lake (07:55). An elderly couple picnic at a spot overlooking Shasta Lake. The film then shows the American River (08:44) with its levies and Folsom Dam (09:18). People swim in Folsom Reservoir and sailboats sail on the lake (09:30). A salmon ladder assists the migration of salmon at Folsom Dam (09:54). Aerial footage shows the delta area of Central Valley (10:52). The film then takes viewers to the Delta Cross Chanel, where water from the Sacramento River is diverted at Walnut Grove and moved to the Tracy Pumping Plant (11:29). A man observes small fish in a holding tank at the Tracy Pumping Plant (12:38). Another beneficiary of the CVP is the Mendota Wildlife Area, which features wild ducks and geese (14:53). People enjoy water recreation at Millerton Lake (15:30). Madera Canal transports water flowing from Friant Dam (17:46). The film then features footage of Contra Costa Canal (18:19), Sly Park Dam and Jenkinson Lake (18:50), the city of Sacramento (20:10), then it ends with shots from around the basin, including farms and orchards, dams, and canals.
The Central Valley Project (CVP) is a federal water management project in the U.S. state of California under the supervision of the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). It was devised in 1933 in order to provide irrigation and municipal water to much of California's Central Valley—by regulating and storing water in reservoirs in the northern half of the state (once considered water-rich but suffering water-scarce conditions more than half the year in most years), and transporting it to the water-poor San Joaquin Valley and its surroundings by means of a series of canals, aqueducts and pump plants, some shared with the California State Water Project (SWP). Many CVP water users are represented by the Central Valley Project Water Association.

Never-seen-before views of 1986 monster storm on American River at Auburn
We found a batch of negative file sheets from the 1986 storm. Many of the photos have never been published. The force of the water blew out the coffer dam on the American River at the Auburn dam project and put this short video together to share. Read the story about the 1986 storm and others to hit our area in Sunday's Auburn Journal.
