Folsom Dam
:''For the settlement formerly called Folsom Dam, see Morgans Landing, California.''
Folsom Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the American River of Northern California in the United States, about northeast of Sacramento. The dam is high and long, flanked by earthen wing dams. It was completed in 1955, officially opening the following year.
Located at the juncture of the north and south forks of the American River, the dam was built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, and was transferred to the United States Bureau of Reclamation upon its completion. The dam and its reservoir, Folsom Lake, are part of the Central Valley Project, a multipurpose project that provides flood control, hydroelectricity, and irrigation and municipal water supply. Upgrades to provide increased flood protection for Sacramento are scheduled to be completed in 2015.
Another Central Valley Project dam, Nimbus Dam, is located further down river.
