About Rail Road Flat

Tucked into the Sierra Nevada foothills at around 2,600 feet, Rail Road Flat is a quiet Calaveras County community surrounded by pine trees and crisp mountain air. The settlement got its quirky name during the Gold Rush from wooden tracks used to guide mule-drawn ore carts around the mines. Today, the area offers a peaceful rural setting with plenty of space and privacy, making it an appealing spot for anyone looking for a relaxed lifestyle in Gold Country.
