Hiking
When the cinnabar (mercury ore) mines at Quicksilver Park were active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, English Camp housed around 1,000 residents, primarily consisting of Cornish miners and their families. Today, only a few remnants of structures remain. There are some lovely picnic tables here, making it an ideal spot to stop for lunch and take some memorable photos.

Mountain biking
English Camp was originally established to accommodate English-speaking miners during their tenure at the nearby mine. At that time, renting an entire house along with the grounds would set you back a mere $5 to $10 per month.
Presently, the trails encircling the camp offer fantastic opportunities for mountain biking.
