The Negro Bar boat ramp features two large launch areas and a large parking lot.
During the Gold Rush days in California, after 1849, many amateur prospectors flooded the area. This included several ethnic groups. The Chinese generally worked the south shore of the American River in Folsom, and the Blacks worked a sand bar near the north shore; hence the name Negro Bar.
The hours of the launch facility vary with the time of year; generally it's sunrise to sunset. In the Summer it is usually 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The cost of entering the recreation area is $10, which includes use of the boat launch.
