Lake Natoma, California, United States


4.5 (105 reviews) Spent Ranking #5 in Folsom Bodies of Water

Lovely!

Nestled in Sacramento County, this 500-acre recreational lake is a watersports hub and a great place for a day out. Locals usually go sailing, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding here, since equipment rentals are readily available at the Sacramento State Aquatic Center. You can also stroll or jog around the scenic paved trails, have a picnic, or unwind with a good book in the many open spaces. Weekends normally see higher lake activity, so it’s better to come on weekdays when it’s less crowded and more peaceful. You might also want to head to the Folsom Premium Outlets nearby for some solid bargains after. – Tripadvisor

    Hiking, biking and floating. What's not to like!
    This lake is home to rowing competitions, biking trails, fishing, sail boarding, and other water activities. Access is limited the aquatic center off of Hazel and the historic recently re-named Negro Bar launch ramp off of Greenback Lane. Picnic facilities are limited to the aquatic center.

    Great place to spend the day
    This is a Great lake for spending the day. We come to this lake about once a week during the summer and kayak. It is a popular area for kayaking, SUPs, fishing, swimming and picnicking. There is plenty of parking, picnic tables, BBQ grills, shade trees, and restrooms. There is also a bike trail that goes right by the lake, with a nice view. Also on this lake is an aquatic center, owned by Sacramento State University, which rents kayaks and SUPs for a good price. It’s very accessible, is located just off the Hazel Ave exit from Highway 50 and is a short walk from the parking lot to the beach area, so it’s a great place for everyone from toddlers to seniors.
