Lake Natoma Offers Many Recreational Opportunities

By
Real Estate Agent

After a long Sacramento winter, many locals are glad to be looking out their windows and seeing blue skies. The week ahead is forecast to be sunnier with warmer temps. Sacramento’s many waterways provide great recreational activities to help us take advantage of the springtime weather.

As one travels east approximately 14 miles on highway 50 from the City of Sacramento, they encounter an opportunity to discover Lake Natoma, near the Hazel Avenue exit.  The lake, along the American River, is nicely cradled between Folsom and Nimbus Dams in Sacramento County.  The area nearest The Sacramento State Aquatic Center, and along The American River Parkway, provides multiple forms of year-round recreation - Rowing, Kayaking, Fishing, Biking and Picnicking.  There are also camping facilities and trails to accommodate horseback riding.

My kids rowed on this lake several times Myrl Jeffcoat . The west coast collegiate rowing championships used to be held here every year.

My youngest daughter was also on a college rowing team that used Lake Natoma.  She was sixteen when she graduated high school, and was a state ranked swimmer.  However, she was tiny compared to other of her college team mates.  She acted as the team coxswain.

This is timely information to share with area residents and visitors.

We have a beautiful afternoon in Maryland and I have a CE class to attend.

Myrl,

Not sure I have seen Lake Natoma, and we did an overnight river rafting trip on the American River.  It was a fun adventure.  A

Hi Myrl,
The Lake Natoma area sounds like a fun place to spend some time.  I've never been to that area.
