Salmon Falls was an gold camp on the South Fork of the American River.It was founded by Mormans in 1848.It was a fairly large town,with a Chinese settlement next too the town.The town was flooded by the waters of Folsom Lake in the 1950s. In drought years and sometimes in the winter, the water recedes and what is left of a few structures and the bridge are uncovered.
It was a nice, cool walk to Salmon Falls. What you see that looks like a river is actually Folsum lake.
The dogs enjoyed a romp in the cold water and posing for this picture on a set of old steps, which is usually underwater. Sasha, Jessie, Kala, Jasper
