• Calaveras Big Trees State Park features two magnificent groves of giant sequoia, as well as over 6,000 acres of pine forest, campgrounds, picnic areas, and miles of hiking and mountain biking trails.
• Calaveras County is also blessed with some spectacular caves and caverns, all of which are open to the public and offer a variety of tour options, including Mercer Caverns, Moaning Cavern, and California Cavern.
• Nearby Lake New Melones provides boating, water, and jet skiing opportunities.
