Things to do in El Dorado County are listed by cities below such as El Dorado Hills, South Lake Tahoe, Cameron Park, Placerville and Diamond Springs. El Dorado County, situated north of California's mid-line, abuts South Lake Tahoe, Nevada. It is nestled in a tranquil corridor of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The region, once fueled by the Gold Rush prospecting craze of the late 1800's, is now a hotbed for "green" tourism. Do you like hiking, camping, or fishing? How about skiing, white-water rafting, or gold-panning? If you answered "yes" to any of the above, then consider a trip to El Dorado, California. El Dorado County hosts no less than two national forests, four state parks, and dozens of historic trails. Some of these parks include D.L. Bliss and Emerald Bay State Parks on Lake Tahoe, Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, and Eldorado National Forest including the vast Desolation Wilderness. Are you married, engaged, or in love? Stay in one of the dozens of bed and breakfast locations around the picturesque forests and plains of El Dorado County. Then, let your palate delight in any one of the fifty world-renowned nearby wineries and restaurants. While El Dorado's largest cities, Placerville and South Lake Tahoe, are not household names, you, like the gold-panning residents of this land's past, will feel like you have uncovered one of America's last undiscovered gems.
