Granite Bay: A Desirable Address
View Community Knowledge Bank | View All Granite Bay Area MLS Properties
Granite Bay roots lead back to the early 1850's, when gold miners first settled the banks of the American River. In its earliest days, Granite Bay was known as "Granite Bar." It was then a small mining camp just below Horseshoe Bar, thus combining its locale with the granite rock quarried from its banks and used as "rip-rap" in the wing dams of Folsom Dam.
When the interest in mining waned, the rolling terrain southeast of Granite Bar evolved into farming and ranching territory and continued into the 20th Century. Presently, Granite Bay bridges the gap between rural and luxurious. Large lots with city amenities characterize the area, as does a vocal citizenry anxious to keep the unincorporated community picturesque, safe, and upscale.
Shaded by a heavy canopy of oak trees, artistic natural jumbles of granite boulders decorate the lots and roadsides of Granite Bay. Traffic slows for horses crossing the road on their way to or from the riding trails in the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area. A few homes have stupendous views of the lake bed; others have easy access to the state park and many trails that lead northward to the Folsom area. Its proximity to a variety of recreational opportunities and employment centers has made Granite Bay one of the area's most desirable addresses in Placer County.
