Water-based recreational activities are a local favorite, and the nearby American River is popular with kayakers and rafters while Folsom Lake and Lake Natoma offer excellent sailing and windsurfing. With a stream of entertaining festivals and activities, Sacramento's colorful history, vibrant culture and natural beauty make it a supremely invigorating city.
