Salmon Falls / Darrington Trail

The Salmon Falls Trail (lesser known name is the Darrington Trail) is one of the staples in the Sacramento area. The trail runs along the south fork of Folsom Lake and offers great views for a get-away not to far out of town. The trail is somewhat technical at the beginning, but gets easier as the trail goes on (don't be intimidated by the hike-a-bike section right out of the gate). The turn around point at the trail runs into a campground which offers services during the camping season.

Distance: 10 miles (one way)
Difficulty: moderate
