More than 230,000 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 in northern California’s
El Dorado County. Campers, hikers, boaters, anglers, equestrians, photographers, and all-around nature lovers enjoy Sly Park as well as EID facilities at Silver Lake, Oyster Creek, Caples Lake, and Forebay Reservoir.

And once again our visitors voted Sly Park Recreation Area as the "Best Recreational Facility" in the 2009 Readers' Choice survey published by the Mountain Democrat.

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.
