Folsom Lake Park

Project description:

Folsom Lake State Recreational Area

Extremely popular with Sacramento residents, and over 2 Million visitors annually, the Folsom Lake Recreation Area parking lots must be kept in excellent condition. That’s why the State of California hires Folsom Lake Asphalt for repair and maintenance of their local state parks.

Located at the base of the Sierra foothills, the lake and recreation area offers opportunities for hiking, biking, running, camping, picnicking, horseback riding, water-skiing and boating. Fishing offers trout, catfish, big and small mouth bass or perch. Visitors can also see the Folsom Powerhouse (once called “the greatest operative electrical plant on the American continent”), which from 1885 to 1952 produced 11,000 volts of electricity for Sacramento residents. For cyclists, there is a 32-mile long bicycle path that connects Folsom Lake with many Sacramento County parks before reaching Old Sacramento. The park also includes Lake Natoma, downstream from Folsom Lake, which is popular for crew races, sailing, kayaking and other aquatic sports.
