Simply put, Amador County is a GREAT place to live, work and play! Our county stretches from the San Joaquin valley floor to the 8,000+ foot elevation of the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains. Here, you'll find a rural way of like that fits like a favorite pair of old jeans.

Our recreational possiblities are virtually endless! Our lakes and rivers offer an abundace of fishing, boating, swimming and water sports. Our open areas include lots of BLM and forest wilderness perfect for hiking, camping, horseback riding, hunting and much more. And come winter, you'll find great places to ski and snowboard--practically in your own backyard!

Amador also offers good proximity to the San Joaquin and Sacramanto Valleys, and to the east, the gorgeous Lake Tahoe area and Nevada. At right, you see a bird's eye view of where we're located. A detailed Amador map appears below...
