Nevada County — the Premier
Event Destination
By Mardie Caldwell
Nevada County has been drawing people to its quaint
towns, clean skies, and unique lifestyle since the gold
rush in the 1840’s. While gold may no longer be the
top attraction, treasure can be found in our picturesque
foothill communities, combining world class dining,
shopping, culture, recreation, nature and history.
Conveniently nestled between Sacramento and Lake
Tahoe, Nevada County has some of the most beautiful
scenery in the state. From the Sierra peaks near
Truckee, to the South Yuba and Bear Rivers, this county,
encompassing 974 square miles, is a place many come to
visit, and ultimately decide to make it their home.
Community, nature, and business abound here, where
generations of people have raised their families, welcoming
newcomers to discover and explore what makes the area
unique. Whether you come for a weekend or stay for the
season, there’s much to experience in Nevada County, the
premier destination!
Recreational Opportunities Abound
Discover world-class ski resorts at Sugar Bowl and Soda
Springs, or enjoy our long season of golf at beautiful
courses in Alta Sierra and Truckee. The outdoor
opportunities are so many, there are few things you can’t
find in Nevada County! Fishing, biking, kayaking, hiking,
rock-climbing, boating, horseback riding, disc golf, and so
much more are available nearly year round.
