Beeks Bight, Folsom Lake State Recreation Area Granite Bay entrance

Friday, January 9, 9:30am – 12:30pm

Join Robin for a Friday walk at Folsom Lake. We will follow our normal walk up to the tall oak up at the top of the hill. From there we’ll cross over to Doton’s Point and take a lower trail back to the parking area.  This is a great place to walk and see a diversity of plants and birds.

Leader:  Robin Rietz, email robinrietz@yahoo.com with any questions.

What to bring: water, hat, snack, walking stick might be useful and warm or cold weather protection. In some locations there is a risk of exposure to poison oak-be on the lookout!
