点评:This is a popular place for paddle boarding! We actually went to Folsom Lake first, but the waterline was about 1/4 mile from the Parking Lot, so we came here instead. The water was calm and easy to paddle. Going north, you go under 3 bridges. There are rocky areas where you can stop and rest. Many people jump off the rocks to swim. The water was extra cold compared to other lakes in CA. I’m giving it 4/5 Stars because of the lack of signage to the boat launch area. We accessed the water at the Natoma Northern Boat Ramp at Black Miners Bar. Once you drive into the Parking Lot, there are no signs to show where the boat launch area is located. Fortunately, there were a couple of Park Rangers in the Lot so we asked for directions. The Ranger in the entrance booth didn’t give us any directions either. Once we found our way down to the launch area, it was super busy! It’s a very small area to unload your gear. There’s a 15 minute parking limit. We quickly inflated our 3 SUPs and unloaded our gear to the side of the lot. Hubby drove the truck back up to the main parking lot. It’s a long walk to and from the lot to the launch area (going uphill going back). There aren’t any shades either in the main parking lot and in the launch area. I’d recommend going after 2:00 pm to avoid the crush of crowds. We will definitely return for more SUP fun!
翻译:这是桨板运动的热门地点!我们其实先去了福尔瑟姆湖,但水线距离停车场约 1/4 英里,所以我们就来到这里。水面平静,划桨容易。往北走,你会经过 3 座桥。有岩石区域,你可以停下来休息。很多人从岩石上跳下来游泳。与加州的其他湖泊相比,这里的水特别冷。我给它 4/5 星,因为没有通往船只下水区的标志。我们从 Black Miners Bar 的 Natoma Northern Boat Ramp 进入水域。开车进入停车场后,没有标志显示船只下水区的位置。幸运的是,停车场里有几位公园管理员,所以我们问了路。入口处的管理员也没有给我们任何指示。当我们找到通往下水区的路时,那里非常繁忙!这是一个非常小的区域,无法卸下您的装备。停车时间限制为 15 分钟。我们迅速给 3 个 SUP 充气,并将装备卸到停车场的一侧。老公开着卡车回到主停车场。从停车场到下水区要走很长一段路(回去时要上坡)。主停车场和下水区都没有遮阳处。我建议下午 2:00 以后去,以避开拥挤的人群。我们一定会再来享受更多的 SUP 乐趣!
