Welcome to Placer County, where there is never an off-season. Placer County stretches from urban South Placer, including Auburn, through the historic Gold Country Foothills, into the High Sierras of North Lake Tahoe, including Olympic Valley and Tahoe City.

From hiking trails and dog-friendly beaches to breweries and wineries that welcome furry friends, you will find Placer County a fun and welcoming place where life is at its peak.

Whether you’re after an adrenaline-filled adventure or picture-perfect wine tasting, local knowledge is the key. There is no better way to start your Placer County is to begin at the California Welcome Center in historic downtown Auburn, just off Interstate 80.
