Beals Point

Three beaches in the Folsom State Recreation Area.

Reviewed By KMTW - Folsom, United States

Beal’s Point is an area at Folsom Lake with a campground and a day use area. We have only used the day use area. There is a nice grassy area with covered picnic tables, BBQ grills and restrooms, as well as a nice beach area with lifeguards. It’s a perfect place for families to spend the day swimming and having a BBQ. There is a designated area for swimming and kayaking that is safe, because there are also other areas of Folsom Lake that allow boating. There is also a bike trail that leads to Beal’s Point so you can ride your bike as well. It tends to get very crowded on weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day, because this is a popular place to spend a summer day if you live in the Sacramento area, so get there early if you go on a weekend. On weekdays, you can pretty much find parking at any time. Overall a nice place to visit and a nice way to beat the heat.

Johnny Cash Trail

Reviewed By Real_Liza614 - Folsom, United States

Get fit with friends and enjoy views of natural wildlife habitats and Folsom Lake. Perfect time of year to watch seasons change. Another reason why Folsom is a great place to live, work and play. Incidentally, Johnny Cash wrote 1500 songs in his lifetime. Now that’s an artist. ????????????
