Riverton

Riverton has served as a riverside stopping place in California’s El Dorado County since the Gold Rush era. The small community lies beside the South Fork American River in the Sierra Nevada, where the US 50 corridor follows the valley east from Placerville toward the mountain passes. This is historic mining country: El Dorado County was central to the California Gold Rush, and settlements developed around river crossings, supply routes and access to the diggings. Riverton remains a compact waypoint amid conifer forest and granite terrain rather than an urban destination.
