Scenic shoreline drives around Folsom Lake are great for a micro trailer, with viewpoints and roadside pullouts that make brief stops easy from Gold River. The American River Parkway offers mellow car- and trailer-friendly access to trailheads and picnic spots with parking areas suitable for day use. Lake Natoma provides calm waterside roads and launch areas where you can park and enjoy paddling before returning to camp. U.S. Route 50 provides a direct, well-signed corridor to these outdoor areas with multiple access points and nearby campground options.
