5 beautiful lakes near Sacramento for a day trip

Do you live in the Sacramento region, and are looking to save gas and enjoy the beautiful waterways?
We have 5 beautiful lakes near Sacramento, all within a days trip!
Yes, Lake Tahoe is beautiful, but it's a bit far to drive for just the day.
These lakes are not in any particular order, just 5 lakes we enjoy for the day
- Bullards Bar
- Scotts Flat Reservoir
- Rollins Lake Reservoir
- Sly Park at Jenkinson Lake
- Folsom and Lake Natoma
Yes, as the video mentions, there is camping and fishing as well as trails at all of these lakes, but for this video, we concentrate on the day-use areas.
Here are some videos we have done that explain more about the lakes:

I like it when you use a satellite map to show the journey, so the viewers have a good view how far it is. Lovely place for taking a break out

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Yes! They are amazing! Thanks guys!!

[@CissyandBud]

Gorgeous water!!! Would love to visit each of these beautiful lakes. So pretty.

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Ahh, thank you, Cassie!! We are fortunate to have these options! Funny story, two years ago, a YT friend, from Florida was staying in Sacramento for her work with FEMA. She joined us in our Donner Lake video, as well as other adventures, anyhoo, she mentioned that it was the first time she had ever swam in a lake! I was like, "wait, what!??" She reminded us that you can't swim in lakes in Florida because of alligators!!! I never thought about that!!! Cheers! 🥤

[@TheWrightLifeTravelChannel]

These are all fantastic ideas! Thank you for sharing!

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Hey! Wow, this video has become my most viewed video, recently! I should not be shocked as we are heading into Summer! Yeah, if you're in the area, reach out!

[@thatplace1]

Fantastic video. Terrific views and explanation. I took notes for my bucket list and will drill down on the lake specific videos when planning further. Thanks for taking me along.

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Awesome! Yeah, some really beautiful lakes! Thanks, Mike!

[@philos212]

Fantastic!!

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Awesome! This video is now my #1 video! Thank you, Summer!! 🥤

[@scooterscat3309]

Upper lake clementine used to be one of my favorites..cool video✌

[@SippyCupAdventures]

It's been a while since I was at Upper Lake Clementine. Glad you enjoyed, and thank you for watching!

[@dianeschmiane]

Wow, cool rundown. Some of those smaller lakes I'd never heard of, and they might be good for winter camping. Which, I have a feeling I'll have to do this year, even though I hate being cold... 😁

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Yes, it sort of goes with the theme of your channel! Better you than us 😅

[@TheJourneyAwaits]

Excellent presentation of the lakes

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Thank you!!

[@alexreysaayana]

Nice,,

[@CookingWithJimmyK]

Another beautiful and super informative video! It is so hot in Pa. I wanted to jump right through the screen into that lake. BTW, LOVE the saying on your cup, LOL

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Thanks Jim! All the lakes are so beautiful! Ill have to look back to see what saying you're talking about! We got all kinds of stickers lol!!

[@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle]

This is great! Nice idea. 2 of these lakes I've never herd of and look great! Well put together adventure 🙂

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Thanks Paul! Yeah, it's tough getting content out during the Summer as we haven't been home! 😆

[@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle]

@@SippyCupAdventures That's awesome! Yes it is! I may have to skip this sunday; I've been busy as well. I also think others are busy too, I've seen a dramatic drop in views with my videos this summer. This was a perfect video!

[@SippyCupAdventures]

@@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle Interesting, as my views have gone up. That is typical for me as folks look for Summer things to do. Who knows, in time, you'll get a better representation (we both will), and maybe people reserve hiking and trail walking for Spring and Fall? More family activities take place during the Summer. Huh.

[@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle]

@@SippyCupAdventures agreed 🙂

[@Pompomgrenade]

Really good content 🍺

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Thank you! Appreciate you stopping by! Enjoy the lake(s)! 🥤

[@TravelMan-v8y]

Looking to possibly relocate to SAC. If I can’t have beaches, then mountains and beautiful lakes will do! SAC looks to be prime location to get to the mountains and the Bay Area within reason

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Yes, it is! The fact that we are 2 hours away from Tahoe and 2 hours away from the coast, is a blessing! We live in Roseville, and love it! If you ever have any further questions about the region, feel free to reach out to us by email as our email address is in our About section. Thanks for stopping by! 🥤

[@StephenandAndie]

Ah, the many beautiful lakes of Cali. There are so many! We hope they're hanging in there with the draught. 😕 We've never been to any of these, so this is an awesome look at them, and guide for anyone considering going. Really beautiful, guys!

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Thanks you! Yes, some lakes are fairing better than others. Appreciate you guys!

[@bluepeace6]

Can you still drive your car on the sand at Folsom lake?

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Not now being that the water levels are so high! Driving down to the water is only possible when water levels are lower (north of Granite Main beach at Oak point or Dotons Point). TY for watching! 🥤

[@bcbjbggjh9102]

sly park area has bigfoot , hate that area

[@jp9er4life]

U forgot some of the best lakes

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Ok, so, to YOU, what are some of these lakes I missed?? I would love to know! Thanks for watching 🥤Go NINERS!

[@jp9er4life]

@@SippyCupAdventures union valley reservoir,lake combie,lake natoma,berryessa,whiskeytown....even mather lake.

[@SippyCupAdventures]

@@jp9er4life Yeah, well, Natoma is in this video with Folsom. Love Combie, and certainly Whiskeytown! Never been to Berryessa. I have done a video on Union/Utica reservoirs, but again, the video is for lakes about an hour(ish) away from Sacramento. Combie would qualify but I believe its a private lake??

[@jp9er4life]

@@SippyCupAdventuresdidn't see natoma just folsom and that place is horrible,ive almost been hit twice by boats. i mixed whiskeytown up with hennesy,but there are quite a few more actually,
