For over three years, trail users were without water at Falcon Crest Staging Area after vandalism damaged the drinking fountain and horse trough water. Folsom State SRA maintenance has repaired the damage and reinstated potable water. This 2002 map is from the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area General Plan, Alternative #2, showing possible improvements.
