Top destinations for boat rentals, Sacramento, CA, United States
Sacramento’s Most Popular Experiences
When it rains, Sacramento can flood because it is at the mouth of the American and Sacramento Rivers. When the weather is calm, here are some of the best things to do on your Sacramento rental.
Water Skiing
If you select a powerboat for your Sacramento boat rental, this could be the ideal place to try some water skiing. Just check if your Boatsetter rental already has the gear you need.
Fishing at North Mill Creek
North Mill Creek is the perfect place to try out many different types of fishing. You can fish directly from the boat, or you could try a few other options. The landscape is mostly gravel, which provides a perfect platform for wading. There are also canoe and kayak launch points, which might allow you to explore the shallower areas a little more. You might expect to catch trout, catfish, big and smallmouth bass, or perch.
Bird Watching
With beautiful natural surroundings, North Mill Creek is perfect for observing nature and bird watching. In addition to North Mill Creek, there are plenty of other attractive locations around Sacramento where you can try and spot all of the various local species. Before setting out, you may want to contact the Sacramento Audubon Society because they often host trips across the whole region to spot birds. They also offer tips on ways to conserve the local environment.
Sacarmento’s Best Bodies of Water
Folsom Lake
An intriguing place to explore on your Sacramento boat rental is Folsom Lake. Folsom Lake is a reservoir on the American River in the Sierra Nevada foothills. It is northeast of Sacramento, within Placer, El Dorado, and Sacramento counties. This is a protected body of water that is perfect for water skiing. The water is calm and warm, which is always great for any activity that involves swimming.
Folsom Powerhouse
While you are in the area, visit the Folsom Powerhouse, situated just behind the impressive Folsom Dam. Stroll around and see the massive General Electric transformers, each capable of conducting from 800 to 11,000 volts of electricity, in addition to the forebays and canal system that brings water from the dam.
Lake Natoma
Lake Natoma offers something for every member of the family. There are many opportunities for hiking, biking, camping, picnicking, horseback riding, water skiing, and boating in general. The park also often features crew races, sailing, kayaking, and other aquatic sports.
