Geocache Description:


My personal thoughts...
I drive past this area on my way to work and never knew what this place was until I found the cache at the entrance. I decided to pack up the family and spend a day here and check it out. I love the fact that every picnic table has its own shade tree and all are pretty close to the nice little swimming area. This place is perfect for the tiny tots, as the swimming area is pretty shallow. I look forward to spending more time here in the summer. Dogs are allowed at no charge, but they must be kept on a leash (maximum length: six feet) at all times.

Geocaching
I'm glad I came with my Geo-Kit because I just could not pass up placing a cache in this area. I found a nice little spot to tuck this one away. Please replace this cache just how you find it to ensure its stealth. FTF prize is a micro bison tube if you wish to take for a future hide!

Below is some park info for ya


Pack a lunch
100 shaded, grassy picnic areas adorn the lake's southern shore. Picnic tables and barbecues are available on a first-come basis. Picnic areas can be reserved for groups of 30 or more.

Bring a group
A semi-private 1-1/4-acre grassy area is available for group camp-overs and special events. Reservations are required.

Wet a Line
Cast a line from one of six fishing piers (handicapped access available). The fresh-water lake sports bass, bluegill, red ear sunfish, crappie, and catfish. SMUD also stocks the lake with rainbow trout, November through March. Fishing enthusiasts 16 years or older must have a California fishing license.

Launch a boat
The Park's 160-acre lake, fed by the Folsom South Canal, is maintained at a constant level year round. You can launch an electric motor boat, rowboat or sailboat from either of the two boat ramps.

Set sail
The park's warm-water lake is a windsurfer's haven. The consistent wind direction, coupled with no jet skiers and speedboats, makes it ideal for novices.

Take a dip
The lake is roped off for swimming along a 36,000-square-foot sandy beach. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer. Children 12 and under should always be supervised by a responsible adult.

Pedal or paddle
Tour the lake by pedal boat or kayak. Both are available for rental on weekends only from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.

Take a hike
The new Howard Ranch Trail offers seven miles of hiking that is a different experience in each season.

Park overnight
Spend a few leisurely days and nights in one of the 18 RV campsites located along the southwestern rim of the park. Each site has a barbecue, fire pit, picnic table, drinking water and electrical outlets. A dump station is conveniently located.

Pitch a tent
Sleep out under the stars or pitch a tent in one of the 20 lakeside campsites. Each campsite has a barbecue, picnic table and drinking water.
