SUTTER COUNTY, California. Sutter County’s distinctive volcanic buttes rise above fertile Sacramento Valley farmland and small towns. This California58 guide introduces destinations that show the region’s culture, landscape and community life rather than recycling the same statewide list.

Editorial selection: these attractions have not yet been ranked by California58 voters. No advertiser can buy a place or influence readers’ votes. Double-check admission, accessibility, safety and operating schedules.
