Day Hike (2A): Hazel Park-n-Ride to Folsom Powerhouse SHP

An easy morning hike with points of interest at both ends, and peaceful lake views in-between. From Hazel Park & Ride, we’ll have a look at Nimbus Dam, and see the salmon as they climb the new fish ladder. Then we'll follow the trail along the shadier south shore of Lake Natoma, taking a shoreline rest break at the Willow Creek confluence, then on to the historic district of Folsom, where we’ll leave the trail at the old Powerhouse. We'll then walk thru Historic Folsom and take a little time at the Folsom Farmers Market before climbing aboard the light rail and returning to Hazel. 7 miles, flat. Bring snacks and liquids. Trails sometimes exposed; sunscreen is advised.
Dogs OK conditionally; please see https://www.sacrt.com/accessible/ for bringing your dog on the Light Rail. Rain cancels. Leader keeps a slow pace with frequent stops. Gear list and other information will be provided after approval. Each participant will be required to sign the Sierra Club Sign-In & Waiver Form at the Trailhead.
