Friends of Lakes Folsom and Natoma (FOLFAN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the state park cooperating association for the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area (FLSRA). Our state park includes Lake Natoma, Folsom Lake, and portions of the American River. It includes more than 100 miles of shoreline, beautiful blue oak woodlands teeming with wildlife, and, with 100+ miles of trails and 12,000 acres of surface water, our park offers infinite opportunities for appreciating and experiencing nature and recreation.
Here are the key programs that we manage/co-manage:
- Adopt-the-Parkway Program and Park Cleanup Events
- Bald Eagle Interpretive Program
- Education and Outreach
- Guided Interpretive Activities
- Lake Natoma Nursery and Gardens
- Life Jackets Save Lives

FOLFAN also supports select events within our state park. We also sponsor an annual Member Appreciation Event and Photo Contest (Feb) and, beginning in May 2026, we will be sponsoring Izzy’s Animal Rescue Festival.
