About this event

This is one of my favorite paddle destinations, and the lake is full enough that it should be enjoyable. Wednesday may be a bit breezy, and this is a very protected area.
Brown’s Ravine (Folsom Lake): Just inside the entrance gate is a dirt road down to the water where we launch and park. Please plan to get your bottom wet at 9:30. Temps forecast at 57-67. State parks pass or $10 gets you in.
Brown’s Ravine Road turns off Green Valley Road between Sophia Parkway and Francisco Blvd, and has a traffic signal. You may try 661 Green Valley Road, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762 for the street address, but the website encourages use of your nav system or Google directions. (Officially, there is only a P.O. Box)

For those interested, the most convenient lunch spot is El Dorado Saloon, 879 Embarcadero, El Dorado Hills – at the intersection with Francisco Blvd. (turn left onto Green Valley Rd as you leave the lake, and turn right into the parking lot immediately past the next traffic signal). Other options at the Raley’s shopping center (Posh Bagels, Mimosa House, and a Mexican Restaurant) at the junction of Blue Ravine and Green Valley.
Please register so that others will know they’ll have company.
