The cache is located in a nice park adjacent to the now decommissioned Rancho Seco nuclear power plant. It is a very popular park and lake. The cache is a a micro-cache (hide-a-key). The cache contains a small pencil, and a paper log. Please, be careful when retrieving and replacing the cache since it does not float. The person who finds this first can keep the dollar bill contained within.
You can 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.
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.
Tour the lake by pedal boat or kayak. Both are available for rental from May through September.
Day use per vehicle: $5
Senior/handicapped: $4
Boat launch/trailer and Vehicle: $8
Last checked on May 2nd, 2005. In good condition, replaced the log paper and retrieved a plastic insect. The swallows are busy building their nests for Spring so try not to stay excessively long at the cache since it disturbs them a bit. They'll fly back and settling in again after you leave. Hopefully, no birds will attack you :)
