Folsom Point
Folsom Lake is one of the most frequently dived lakes in California and a very popular spot for open water training due to the lake’s calm waters. It offers plenty of parking and easy entry. The bottom of the lake is fairly silty so use good buoyancy otherwise the visibility will go from 20-30 feet to zero.
There are plenty of freshwater fish like trout, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and spotted bass that are not afraid of divers.
