Close attractions:: El Dorado County is at the heart of California's Gold Rush country, often called the 'Mother Lode.' Folsom Lake and rolling foothills are on our western border with Sacramento County. Lake Tahoe and 10,000 foot mountain peaks are on the eastern border that we share with the State of Nevada. Within these borders are great rivers, lakes, gold mines, historic towns, incredible views and everything that nature has to offer. The center of the Western Slope is Placerville, the seat of government for El Dorado County. Here the hills begin to become mountains. Sitting at an elevation of about 2,000 feet, the old section of town has been restored and offers great shopping. The City of Placerville owns and operates Gold Bug Mine, the only gold mine in California that is open to visitors.

Surrounding Areas: : Further east, the Sierras are home to the Christmas tree and logging industries, while providing great places to camp, hike, hunt, fish and ski. Lake Tahoe, the 'mile high' lake is on our eastern border. On mountain peaks reaching over 10,000 feet high, you will find some of the best Alpine style skiing in the United States.
