BROWN’S RAVINE
HIKE
Thursday October 22nd, 2015
DIFFICULTY: Easy
/ Moderate
HIKE DISTANCE: 5 miles – in and out, not a loop
GENERAL LOCATION: In Folsom on the south side of Folsom Lake
DESCRIPTION:
We
will hike a
portion of the Folsom South Side Trail that is within the Folsom Lake
State
Recreation Area. Since
the Lake is very
low we will not have the scenic views of the water that are normally a
delight. The trail
is packed dirt, rocky
in some places, level sections with some short ups and downs. We will have lunch somewhere
along the trail.
TRAVEL
TIME/DISTANCE: 40 minutes driving time and
22 miles one
way. Suggested
donation to driver is $4. We
will try to park out of the State Park
parking area since there is a $10 fee for parking.
Unless we have hikers who can bring
their CA
State Park pass.
