Description
The Rainbow Bridge is the scene of a flooded American River near Folsom in January 1997. The American River's Nimbus and Folsom dams were able control much of the water volume and pressure moving toward the levees along the lower river, thus minimizing damage. Conversely, areas below undammed rivers like the Feather and Cosumnes suffered far greater damage.
