Things to do near American River Inn

California's Gold Country Welcomes You

 

Nestled in the heart of the historic Georgetown Divide, American River Inn offers easy access to some of Northern California's most scenic destinations, outdoor adventures, and Gold Rush landmarks. Whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway, a romantic weekend, or a basecamp for exploring the Sierra Foothills, you'll find no shortage of things to see and do just minutes from our front door.

Explore the Divide!

​

Outdoor enthusiasts can discover miles of hiking, mountain biking, and off-road trails throughout the Georgetown Divide. Spend a day at the crystal-clear waters of Stumpy Meadows Reservoir, enjoy fishing and boating on nearby lakes, or explore the breathtaking American River canyons. A short drive brings visitors to the famous Confluence, where the North and Middle Forks of the American River meet amid dramatic granite cliffs and forested landscapes.  And if you're really up for an adventure, experience the exhilaration of white water rafting, or an unforgettable off-road trek along the world renowned Rubicon trail.

​

History lovers will find themselves surrounded by California Gold Rush heritage. Visit Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park in Coloma, the site of Sutter's Mill where gold was first discovered in 1848, setting off one of the most significant migrations in American history. Wander the historic streets of Georgetown, explore historic buildings, visit the Georgetown Hotel and Saloon for a drink, enjoy a myriad of restaurants and experience the charm of a town that still reflects its Gold Rush roots. 

 

Guests can also enjoy day trips to the nearby historic districts of Placerville and Auburn. Visit Gold Bug mine and Stamp Mill and give gold panning a try.  Stroll through Old Town Auburn's shops, restaurants, and preserved nineteenth-century architecture, or visit Placerville's vibrant Main Street, wineries, breweries, and seasonal festivals. From wine tasting and scenic drives to outdoor recreation and rich local history, the Georgetown Divide offers something for every traveler in every season.
