We all live in a watershed, even if you live miles away from the nearest river, lake, or creek. In Folsom, your neighborhood is located in one of the city's four creek watersheds.

A handful of creeks in Folsom, including Willow, Humbug, Hinkle, and Alder, take water from our properties and roads and deliver that water directly to the American River. From there, it travels to the Sacramento River and eventually to the Pacific Ocean.
