Description
Along the horizon you are looking at the back of the Nimbus Dam as viewed from the Nimbus Flat State Recreation Area in Gold River, California. On the left side just above the dam is the American River Bridge (Hazel Avenue) which leads through the bluffs to the city of Fair Oaks. The Sacramento Aquatic Center is near Nimbus Flat and that’s where you can get boating instructions and rent equipment like a single kayak for $12 an hour or canoe for $16. The classes include sailing, wind surfing, and rowing. That’s probably where those sailboats came from in my watercolor painting. There is also a boat ramp available at Nimbus Flat.
The water in Lake Natoma, which is the lake created by Nimbus Dam, is too cold for warm water production of fish, and never has the lake been a natural producer of fish. The rapid water exchange from Nimbus Dam sharply decreases the production of plankton, which inhibits trout growth. The Department of Fish and Game annually plants Lake Natoma with 20,000 to 30,000 catchable-sized trout.
This 11” X 15” watercolor was done on Arches, 300 lb, cold press paper.
