Dog-Friendly Water Fun near El Dorado County

Featured water fun

Bassi Falls

Placerville

What you see at Bassi Falls depends on when you go. In spring, the melt-water cascade tumbles violently 109 feet over a jumble of polished granite boulders. In summer, the flow shrinks to just a trickle, but wildflowers provides visual compensation.
