El Dorado Trail (Camelia Lane Entry)

The El Dorado Trail stretches approximately 35 miles between Placerville and the Camino area of Northern California, offering a scenic route or pedestrians, cyclists, and equestrians. With a gentle 2% grade this trail provides an easy spot for dog walking. The Camelia Lane Entry is just one of many access points to the trail.

The County is actively developing this trail within the old Michigan/California Railroad right-of-way. Dogs must be on a 6-foot or shorter leash. Dog waste bag dispensers are available along the trail.

Directions:
Exit Point View Drive and go north, continuing on Jacquier Road (the main road.) You will see the sign for the El Dorado Trail on your right at the corner of Jacquier Road and Camelia Lane.
