Amador County
Peaceful Foothills Living
Pine Grove is a quiet, friendly community nestled in the pines of upper Amador County. Situated along the scenic Highway 88 corridor, it serves as a convenient stop between the valley and the high Sierra. The town is home to Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park, one of the most significant Miwok cultural sites in California, and offers easy access to hiking, fishing, and mountain recreation.
