CalHydro is envisioned as a California Water Imaginarium—an interactive space where visitors explore the state’s lakes and rivers through a large-scale diorama inspired by the Bay Model in Sausalito.

Below, an ultralight-style flyover ride offers a new perspective on California’s interconnected water systems.

A Vision for the Future

The CalHydro concept reimagines the City of Folsom's Corporation Yard as a place for learning, exploration, and connection to California’s water and landscape.
