    Celebrate TrailFest and National Get Outdoors Day in Coloma!

    I think nearly everyday in the Coloma-Lotus Valley is a reminder to get outdoors and play, but this Sunday is actually National GET OUTDOORS Day! Come Play! Mother Lode River Center is hosting a National Get Outdoors Day Celebration, the LoCol Farmer’s Market is open, and it is the 10th Annual American River TrailFest! Be there, or be the only one who isn’t!

    Ready, Set…Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

    Well, the Coloma-Lotus Valley is officially OPEN FOR BUSINESS for the 2013 Summer Season! All the seasonal businesses are open to serve your dining, lodging or recreational needs, the river is flowing and that Summertime feeling is here! So, come catch the buzz!

    Memorial Day weekend is our official kick-off to the Summer Season. From a bird’s eye view, you would probably see a plethora of tents, cabins, RV’s, rafts, kayaks, barbeques and families recreating, but from the view of the South Fork American River, you will just see a bunch of people having good ol’ fashioned family fun in the great outdoors!

    Winter storm warnings!

    The meteorologists are calling for “aerial flooding” and “atmospheric rivers”…which in layman’s terms means HUGE STORMS! All of Northern California is drenched right now! Please read the following information to learn how this series of storms will affect the Coloma-Lotus Valley and the South Fork of the American River region.

    The kids are back in school, Labor Day has come and gone and the weather is starting to cool off as Fall approaches, but do NOT fret…the Coloma-Lotus Valley still has plenty of fun to offer in the coming weeks!
