Folsom Lake State Recreation Area

Folsom Lake State Recreation Area offers a convenient boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and other recreational boaters to access the expansive Folsom Lake. This large reservoir, formed by the Folsom Dam on the American River, provides ample opportunity for paddling and motorized boating.

The boat ramp at Folsom Lake is located in Folsom, California, in Sacramento County. It is open to the public and operated by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The ramp provides direct access to the calm, clear waters of Folsom Lake, making it an ideal launch site for small non-motorized craft like kayaks and canoes, as well as larger motorized boats.

Visitors are advised to contact the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area directly at (916) 988-0205 or pubinfo@parks.ca.gov to confirm the current status and hours of operation for the boat ramp before planning their visit. Proper footwear is recommended when using the ramp and accessing the shoreline. The recreation area also offers group picnic sites that can be reserved.
