This is one of the most scenic trails I know.  The soft sandy foot path is a sweet bonus.
The trail, which runs southwest from Auburn to Folsom, almost all of it along the shore, has several access points.  I like going in at the Sterling Equestrian Staging Area.  Following the video is a link to a previous article called “The La Di Dah Trail.”
