This Carson Trail stagecoach stop marked the beginning of the ascent or end of the descent from the thousands who traveled to help found the State of California in the 1850s and 1860s. From 1852 on very rich surface diggings were found here in ancient gravel beds. Many tunnels were dug in the surrounding hills to locate more gold. One of the gold rush's richest mines has a preserved opening in the basement of Smith Flat House. This Blue Lead Mine extends all the way to the American River and has made Hangtown Creek which runs through old town Placerville a year round creek. This area became a prosperous mining camp as well. Ranching and logging kept the Smiths Flat area going after the mines were shut down. Smith Flat Road became part of California's first state highway which was built in the 1890s connecting Placerville with Lake Tahoe. Old-timers recall when other nearby locations competed with the Smith Flat House as drinking and dancing establishments. The Smith Flat House reopened in 2009 as just a healing center based in part on the owner's belief that a large crystal layer, deep below the ground, contained extraordinary healing properties. Today Smith Flat House is again popular as a community gathering space and event center as well as an exceptional eating establishment. TRANSIT: Smith Flat is easily accessed by Exit 49 off Highway 50 and connects to the wineries and Apple Hill [fresh farm to fork] visitor attractions along Carson Road via Jacquier Road. Smith Flat Road and Broadway offer a relatively flat connection to downtown Placerville. Newtown Road connects to more rural communities of Pleasant Valley and Fair Play. This is also the exit used for the Placerville Airport. El Dorado Trail is a hiking / biking / equestrian trail which is over 30 miles long spanning through the Western Slope of El Dorado County on the former SP Railroad Line.
