About Canyon View Preserve:
This is a perfect spot to take in the view of the American River canyon and the Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance. This 50 acre Canyon View Preserve was acquired in fee title by Placer Land Trust on December 31, 2003. Previous to its protection, this land was considered for subdivision and development. Now, as a permanently protected nature preserve, Canyon View Preserve will continue to offer wildlife habitat, recreation opportunities, and scenic open space forever. There is surprising biodiversity on this Preserve and our website hosts a Wildflower Guide, Tree Guide and Bird Field Guide to further explore the species that call this Preserve home. The Preserve is located just north of Auburn, CA and boarders the Auburn State Recreation.
