This is the state recreation area called Negro Bar. It's on the American River, and has a boat launching ramp, multiple park tables and barbecues, a stand where you can rent kayaks, and clean public restrooms. There are also miles of bike and hiking trails. It was so pretty, I think I'd like to picnic there for my birthday. And it's not far from home - maybe a 40 minute drive, in Folsom-Orangevale.
'Course, by the end of July, it might be a hundred degrees, but the river will still be cold and refreshing. I did notice that no one at all was swimming, even though the river was calm. Must be something I don't know about - will need to do some checking before July.
