Discover Folsom


Explore the Outdoors

Northern California is, of course, notorious for its abundance of diverse wildlife, breathtaking beauty, and wide selection of outdoor recreational activities. Although the area is full of history and entertaining attractions, the great outdoors is where you’ll be likely spending most of your time when you choose an RV rental in Folsom. The town places a great deal of importance in getting outside, with 32 miles of serene bicycle trails built on old railways. These winding paths, through forests and alongside waterways, help you get around town by foot or on two wheels, so you can get that exercise in while vacationing. You can even take the American River Bike Trail which will take you all the way to Sacramento.

Folsom is home to several recreation areas, most of which surround the extraordinary Folsom Lake. Folsom Lake has 11,500 acres of water and 75 miles of undulated shoreline. Folsom Lake State Recreation Area has nearly 20,000 acres of spectacular terrain and is one of California’s most popular parks, with over two million visitors per year. The park is also home to lots of unique plants and animals and has several campgrounds for you to utilize with your Folsom camper rental. Nearby Browns Ravine State Recreation Area is another great place to park your Folsom RV rental and is home to the Folsom Lake Marina, which houses many boats and personal watercraft for you to enjoy should you want to go for a ride or maybe spend some time fishing.
