About Folsom Point
This freshwater dive spot in Folsom Lake is frequently used for open water training thanks to generally calm water conditions. Entry is described as easy, with convenient parking nearby. The lake bottom is silty, and poor buoyancy control can quickly reduce visibility from moderate to near zero. Divers can expect to see common freshwater fish that are reportedly comfortable around divers.
