Folsom Dam
The dam, at the juncture of the north and south forks of the American River, was built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, and upon its completion, was transferred to the United States Bureau of Reclamation. The dam and lake are part of the Central Valley Project, a multipurpose project that provides flood control, hydroelectricity, drinking water and water for irrigation. Upgrades to provide increased flood protection for Sacramento are scheduled to be completed in 2015.
