North Lake Tour

I visited every tourist-oriented business i could find north of Rush Creek. The list:

Trinity Alps Resort...

Pinewood Cove
Trinity Lake Resorts at Cedar Stock...

Scott Museum
Jaktri Market
North Trinity Lake Community Hall
Sasquatch (closing ~permanently 9/26)
Mini-Kat
Trinity Lake KOA
Enright Gulch Cabins & Motels
Carrville Inn
Quicksilver Cabin
Sunflower Cabins
Eagle Creek Ranch...

Coffee Creek Country Store
Ripple Creek Cabins...

Coffee Creek Campground & RV Park
Bonanza King Resort
Coffee Creek Ranch
Creek Stone Vacation Rental
Alpen Cellars...


So many of the sites were so beautifully maintained, with flowers, green lawns.

(An interesting story at the Mini-Kat: The place originally was owned by the owner of the Ycatapom Inn. The Inn was a big thing; the ~drive-in was relatively small; hence the name, despite demise of the Y-cat.)

Business is not good; one major site told me it was 10%(!) of normal.

Some cited the problem of no restaurants (outside of the summer season, when there are 2: Cedar Stock, Trinity Alps Resort) in this entire portion of the county. B&Bs need restaurants.
