Folsom Point Closure…Enough Already!
January 20th, 2007 categories: Folsom, Sacramento County
Can you believe it?
Not only does the State close Folsom Damn Rd down which has lead to businesses closing and the reduction of revenue and traffic issues but now the very reason most folks live and go to Folsom is Folsom Lake.
Folsom Point is subject to close up to 7 years due to retrofitting the damn. Which facility does the State plan on shutting down? None other than the only good boat launch site besides the one in Granite Bay.
Not sure what they are thinking! The good folks of Folsom will not take this sitting down. How about finding another place to put all the equipment while working on the retro fitting somewhere else besides the best boat dock and park?
Beals Point would be an alternative…or better yet somewhere else around the Lake… That is not a boat launch is the goal to minimize boating?
Not to mention the wonderful view that heavy equipment will have on the homes built around the Lake. Folsom has been heavily hit enough and it seems that there should be an alternative to this lousy plan. Couldnt there be another location to place all the equipment without closing this lovely park down for 7 Years? This is a time to speak up, stand-up and let your voices be heard!
Protest scheduled today, Saturday at noon on East Natoma. Come and support the businesses and community of Folsom!
What are your thoughts?

The discussion to close Folsom Point, doesn’t seem like much of a discussion. The State continues to ruin rough shod oover it’s most value, tax delivering assest. PEOPLE. While the developement is not going to subside, reducing access while the demographic changes and population grows, is sure facilitate conflict and thus reduce the quaility of life for all residents. The closure of Folsom Point is going to back up the boat launch at Beales. The facility is already full in the summer. Do any of the decision makers know this? Do they have a bost…any of them? SOMEBODY NEEDS TO PUT CITIZENS FIRST. Too many decisions are being made without a vote of the people. Bad decisions are plentiful these days, but I still have hope. Please don’t ruin access to a lake where you authorized 100’s of new homes to be built. More people means we need MORE access. It’s simple math. Todd and Sophia Dalton
Todd & Sophia,
Your point is very well taken…it is time that the community be part of the talks before action is taken that impacts a community as much as this has the potential to do. I’m not a boater but I have been told that Beals Pt. is not a good boat launch. Folsom Pt. and the Granite Bay entry are the best…this should hurt quite a few and I hope that the “Voice” of Folsom is heard before this crucial plan is put into action. Let’s see how many “voices” we can get to speak up and be heard…thank you for your voice!
