Winter Pontoon Adventures: Sacramento River, Folsom Lake & Lake Berryessa
Winter Pontoon Adventures: Sacramento River, Folsom Lake & Lake Berryessa
Who says pontoon boats are just for summer? While the California sun might not be blazing in the winter, there are still plenty of opportunities to enjoy a day out on the water. Here in Northern California, we're lucky to have some beautiful locations that are perfect for winter pontooning, especially when the weather cooperates.
Imagine this: a crisp, clear winter day with the sun warming your face as you cruise along the Sacramento River or explore the coves of Folsom Lake. Wrap up in warm layers, pack a thermos of hot cocoa, and enjoy the peaceful serenity of the off-season.
Why choose winter pontooning?
- Fewer crowds: Say goodbye to the summer hustle and bustle. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the lake or river with fewer boats on the water.
- Stunning scenery: Winter offers a unique perspective on our waterways. The bare trees and golden hillsides create a beautiful backdrop for your adventure.
- Wildlife spotting: Winter is a great time to observe wildlife. Keep an eye out for bald eagles, migratory birds, and other animals that are more active in the cooler months.
- Fishing opportunities: The cooler water temperatures can make for excellent fishing conditions.
Where to go:
- Sacramento River: The Sacramento River offers a diverse landscape, from urban stretches to more rural areas. Enjoy a leisurely cruise and take in the sights of the city or head further out for a more secluded experience.
- Folsom Lake: With its dramatic cliffs and hidden coves, Folsom Lake is a stunning location for winter pontooning. Explore the shoreline, find a secluded spot for a picnic, or try your luck at fishing.
- Lake Berryessa: Known for its clear blue waters and scenic beauty, Lake Berryessa is another great option for winter boating. This vast lake offers plenty of space to explore and enjoy the tranquility of the season.
