Penn Valley

Penn Valley is a quiet community just to the west of Grass Valley, down Hwy 20. Penn Valley was known in its early days as the “Pantry of the Northern Mines.” It is a rich agricultural area dotted with farms and cattle ranches. It is just above the fog, and below the snow. A perfect location.

Penn Valley features Englebright Lake, which has water accessible camp sites, swimming, boating, fishing, and hiking. They also offer party boats and house boats through Skipper’s Cove Marina.

Penn Valley also offers the beautiful South Yuba River with its hiking trails and scenic swim areas.
