FOLSOM, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation, in partnership with the California Department of Parks and Recreation, has temporarily closed a portion of the American River Bike Trail along Lake Natoma due to landslide activity that began Jan. 22, south of Negro Bar.
California State Parks has installed fencing, barricades and warning signs on both sides of the trail closure and is urging the public to stay away from the area until further notice, as additional slides may occur. Construction activities to stabilize the cliff and remove debris have not yet been scheduled due to ongoing hazards.
Cyclists and other recreationists should use the paved trails on the south side of Lake Natoma as an alternate route between Hazel Avenue and Folsom Boulevard.
More information is available at California State Park’s Folsom Lake State Recreation Area, 916-988-0205 or https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=500.
