Granite Bay
The park, part of Folsom Lake
State Recreation Area, has a mixture of sandy beaches and oak-studded hills with
scattered rock outcroppings. It also has lots of trails, as it is very popular
with mountain bikers and equestrians.
The park's trails
link north to Auburn
and south to Folsom and the American River Parkway. It's a lovely park with great views of the lake and the mountains.
It sits slightly higher than Sacramento, so don't be deterred if it's foggy
in the valley; it frequently is beautiful at the lake.
Directions: Take
Interstate 80 to Roseville and exit at Douglas Boulevard. Go east for about six miles; the road
takes you right into the park. Or you can take Hazel/Sierra College Boulevard or
Auburn-Folsom Road north to Douglas and turn right. There is a park entry fee.
