We’re heading into our first triple-digit weekend of the year across Placer County—and if you’re anything like me, you’re already looking for a way to stay cool while still enjoying everything our area has to offer.

Whether you’re a fan of outdoor water adventures, refreshing indoor escapes, or something in between, I’ve put together a list of local favorites to help you beat the heat.


Top Outdoor Water Spots

Folsom Lake – Granite Bay & Beals Point
Perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, or just relaxing on the shore.
American River Confluence – Auburn

This scenic spot is ideal for dipping your toes in the cool water.
⚠️ Important: The river is cold and swift, so swimming isn’t recommended. If you do go in, be sure to wear a life jacket and stay cautious.

Bonus Tip for Homeowners

Hot weekends like this are a reminder that summer buyers are thinking about comfort. If you’re prepping your home for sale, consider:

  • Adding shade sails or outdoor fans

  • Installing energy-efficient cooling systems

  • Highlighting shade trees or backyard upgrades in your marketing

These small touches can go a long way in attracting summer buyers.
