More than 400,000 visitors can’t be wrong! Every year, EID’s Sly Park Recreation Area and the District’s other recreation sites rank among the most popular destinations for campers, hikers, boaters, anglers, equestrians, photographers, and all-around nature lovers. Visitors can enjoy Sly Park as well as the other EID facilities at Silver Lake, Caples Lake, and Forebay Reservoir.
Visitors voted Sly Park Recreation Area as the "Best Recreational Facility" in the 2011 Readers' Choice survey published by the Mountain Democrat. Sly Park was also voted "Favorite Kid's Activity" by El Dorado Counties Style magazine.
The District is proud to host the thousands of families and friends who visit our recreation sites. And we’re proud to serve our customers, who enjoy the high-quality water we deliver from Sly Park’s cool, clear Jenkinson Lake and from reservoirs at higher elevations that supply both drinking water and water to run our hydroelectric power generation facilities.
