YOU HOLD IN YOURHANDS an excellent

guide to getting the most out of your visit to Paradise. We havelots to offer and hope you will stay, dine, explore and play!

Sitting at the base of the Sierra Nevadas, we are just 2 hours northof Sacramento, and a short drive from neighboring communitiesOroville and Chico. All routes into Paradise offer extraordinary viewsof Butte County.

Aside from the amazing views leading into town, the first thing youwill notice are our trees…we have lots and lots of towering pines, andtheir green year-round color lend our town its mountainous andwoodsy feel, and many of our residents boast their love of our treesas what they love most about Paradise.

We are proud of our rich history, and by following the Skyway upout of Paradise, you will soon discover Magalia where the largest goldnugget on record in California was discovered (54 pounds!). Travelhigher and you’ll enter the “time warp” of Stirling City, a city rich inlogging and industrial history and home to Clotilde Merlo Park (openMay – October).

Our Gold Nugget Museum and Depot Museum both provide learn-ing opportunities about our Ridge’s exciting mining, logging, andrailroad history. You will walk away amazed at the tenacity of earlysettlers and the determination of the crews who built and operatedthe railroad line from Chico to Stirling City in the early 20th century.

We celebrate Paradise all year round: The Gold Nugget Museumhosts Gold Nugget Days every April; the nationally-awardedChocolate Fest is held on Mother’s Day weekend; we celebrate ourapple orchard heritage the first weekend of October every year withour Johnny Appleseed Days festival, and we celebrate July 4th with abluegrass music festival and Dogtown Faire.

Our Visitor’s Guide provides lots of information about our abun-dance of hiking, biking, golfing and other outdoor opportunities suit-able for all ages and skill levels. If treasure hunting is your thing, youare in the right place: shop our Antique stores ~ they are knowncounty wide for their quality and variety.

Fans of the performing arts also find a wealth of entertainment atthe Paradise Performing Arts Center, a 762-seat state-of-the-art audi-torium, and Theatre on the Ridge, the longest running communitytheatre in the north state. And, here’s a tidbit: Paradise has moreartists and studios than (even) Chico, the 9th rated arts communityin the nation!

Visit us at the Paradise Visitor’s Bureau located in the Chamber ofCommerce office on Skyway. We’re here to answeryour questions and provide you with the informa-tion you need to make the most out of your stay inParadise. We look forward to visiting with yousoon!

PARADISE, CALIFORNIA;is situated approximately two hours north of

Sacramento in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada range. Ashort drive from the North Valley communities of Chico orOroville leads to the small town of Paradise located above the val-ley fog and beneath the heavy snows of the Sierra.

Visitors can take a couple of routes to the beautiful “Ridge,” andeach is an equally stunning example of the drastic differences interrain that can take place in a relatively short period of time.

From Highway 70, drivers turn left onto Highway 191, alsoknown as Clark Road, and begin their ascent into Paradise. Thefinal leg of the trip begins on a straight, flat road, bordered oneither side by grasses and grazing cows. Homes and small ranch-es dot the landscape. As the slope of the road begins to rise, trav-elers begin a curving journey with views over the Valley below.First, Scrub Oaks, then Digger Pines, then Ponderosa Pines, andvoila! You’ve reached Paradise!

Clark Road is one of the town’s two main drags. The businessdistrict of Paradise is laid out in more or less of a “grid,” makinggetting around easy, until you try to find someone’s house! Getexcellent directions for that, or stop and ask one of the friendlytown residents.

The second major route to Paradise is the Skyway, accessible offU.S. Highway 99. Once on the Skyway, it’s a short drive toParadise.

Skyway continues long after the paving does, and in a toughtruck with good clearance you might land in Butte Meadows onthe other side of the Ridge.

An old line used to sell properties on the Ridge was “above thefog and below the snow.”This isn’t exactly accurate all of the time,but for the most part it is. The valley below is notorious for thickfog at times of the year—thick enough for you to postpone thattrip to Chico. And, every so often, snow does fall on Paradise,around the 1,500 foot level, when it does, though it’s very rare thatthe snow is so deep that you can’t go about your business. Ofcourse, the further up the hill you go, the deeper the snow can get.

The Spring and Fall in Paradise, and the surrounding area, arespectacular.Wild flowers bloom abundantly, the brown grasses ofsummer become a vibrant green, and colorful trees likeDogwoods and Redbud put on a proud display.

Paradise is an incorporated town with its own police, fire andgovernment. The areas north of the town limits fall within ButteCounty. Paradise Visitor Guide 7

IN PREHISTORIC Northern California, a volcanic eruptioncaused such immense lava flows that several “ridges” were

created. They include: Cohasset, Forest Ranch, and the ParadiseRidge. Eventually, soil covered these lava caps, but from the air, thelava flows are still very clearly seen as the defining feature of theregion.

As for human history, this area was originally populated by theMaidu Indians, and archaeological evidence suggests that their pres-ence here extended as far back as 10,000 years before the arrival ofwhite settlers.

Like many other indigenous people, the Maidu were killed, or diedof diseases new to them, soon after the whites and Chinese flockedto the area in search of golden dreams. This proved to be a reality forsome, but not so for many more, especially the Chinese who weresqueezed out of their claims by discriminatory laws. Many ended upmining gold only as laborers for white miners, or worked in othertrades; as cooks, or launderers.When the Gold Rush ended, a societythat had tolerated the Chinese for their inexpensive labor, now want-ed them to leave. In fact, the Chinese were literally burned out oftheir homes in Chico. In spite of the marvelous Chinese Temple inOroville (lined with gold that Chinese laborers secreted out of themines in spite of the threats of imprisonment or death), much of thevibrant Chinese community disappeared from the area.

Considering it only began in 1848, the Gold rush was relativelyshort-lived, and by 1853, the Paradise area had settled in to the busi-ness of agriculture. Apples, hogs, vegetables and grains all thrived inParadise's red soil. The area, being along a well-traveled stage route,was one of lively exchange between people on their way to Susanvilleor Nevada. Names of these stops still resurface today in the form ofstreet names, or by the nicknames that people still call the areas,such as Toadtown, Dogtown, Coutolenc, Powellton and Inskip.

BY 1861, the town had grown sufficiently as to warrant thebuilding of a school, the Delaplain School. In 1879 the

Congregational Church opened.A post office followed, and by 1880,the census discovered that the population of the Paradise Ridgewas 301.

More leaps in population were to come, such as 1903, when theDiamond Match Company built a large lumber mill in Stirling City,just up the hill from Magalia. This endeavor was to employ manyresidents for decades.

By 1911 it was time for the post office to move from the Stronghouse, a private residence, and into the Orloff office. It was at thistime that the name of the town was officially changed from8 Paradise Visitor Guide

Orloff to Paradise.

IN 1916, local farmers began the groundwork for what is knowntoday as the Paradise Irrigation District.

Like everywhere else in the country, the Depression hit Paradisehard. The influx into California portrayed in “Grapes of Wrath”brought it's own poor masses to Paradise. Though there may havebeen no jobs for the people that came, at least the fertile soils yield-ed more food than the dust bowl states, and the migrants could raiseenough to eat. Good times returned with World War II, but manypeople stayed on in Paradise where, like the rest of the country, theybegan to do more than just exist.

1959 came to pass and the most popular festival in town began—Gold Nugget Days. This four-day-long event includes a ball, thecrowning of a queen, a lively parade, craft fair and more. Gold NuggetDays' focus is fun, but also in appreciating the Gold Nugget Museum,located on Pearson Road. This volunteer endeavor has put togetherquite a collection of artifacts from the area's local history. Every year,school children visit and are taught valuable history lessons at thisfacility. Adults join in as well, either as visitors or volunteers. LivingHistory Days is another event that draws crowds to the museum.Each year, volunteers take up a post in the outdoor replica miningtown adjacent to the Museum, and begin demonstrating old crafts,whether it be blacksmithing or candle-making. Yet the highlight ofthe year is Gold Nugget Days, which draws thousands of visitorsfrom all over California.

In the fall, Johnny Appleseed Days is celebrated with craft fairsand food. It's a great chance to get in one last outdoor event justbefore winter sets in.

IN THE 1800s Paradise was the small village and Magalia andStirling City were the hubs. Though it would be difficult to know

which name they went under—there were so many! Magalia was thesign placed over the post office door in 1861, however the area hasbeen called everything from Dogtown to Butte Mills.

It was under the Dogtown name that the largest gold nugget onrecord in California was discovered... a whopping 54 pounds, 49.5 ofwhich was pure gold. It's worth in 1859 dollars was an unheard-of$10,960, which is just a fraction of what it would be worth today. Fora better idea of the sheer mass of this find, see the replica in the GoldNugget Museum.

Magalia was so much busier than Paradise, in fact, they had a postoffice first, and opened their first school in 1859. Even after the GoldRush was over, Magalia sustained a goodly population with its lum-ber and rock mining, up until World War II. After that, Magalia sortof slowed down, but land prices were inexpensive enough to keep

many people in the area—even if they had to commute to StirlingCity to work at the Diamond Match Company. Magalia's old down-town remains today—just a tiny bit of road called Old Skyway. Theoriginal depot building is on the corner at the signal, and now servesas a restaurant. The Historic Magalia Community Church has beenrestored and stands proudly next to the much larger, newer thrivingcongregation with the same name.Weddings are still held in this tinychapel. Across the street is a well-manicured cemetery. In this area,cemeteries are always wonderful places to look into the past. Many ofthe names in the Paradise Cemetery, for instance, are now immortal-ized in street names, developments, and so forth.

On further up the hill there is more snow in the winter. StirlingCity consists of a school, a post office, splendid Merlo Park and rowsof old company houses. The Stirling City Hotel is still in operation,now as a bed and breakfast. Even higher up is the Inskip Inn. This isthe last spot before the Skyway turns into a dirt road, and is listed onthe National Register of Historic Sites. Perhaps the most interestingthing about this old hotel is that it's rumored to be haunted by aghost named Charlie.

Of all the places on the paved road, Inskip gets the most snow-drifts compared to the more populated areas down the hill. In gener-al, the temperature on the Ridge hovers around 51 degrees inJanuary, and averages 93.6 in July. Above the 2500 foot level, wheresome of Magalia, all of Stirling City and Inskip is located, snow fallsoften, but not constantly.You'll know it’s bad in Stirling City when theroads in Paradise have to be plowed, which is not often. In fact, entireyears may pass without snow dusting the Paradise town proper.

257 days a year are sunny on the Ridge, on average, but when therain does come, watch out! Sometimes unbelievably heavy, the rainseems to fall in sheets. The balance of days are made up of cloudyones. But for a mountain town, 257 days of sunshine isn’t bad at all.

THE RIDGE OF TODAY boasts over 40,000 residents betweenthe town and the areas above it. This number of people has led

to the coming of many institutions seen in larger areas—a DMV,senior center, recreation center, library, and major supermarkets.

Paradise has come a long way since the days when gold called set-tlers here. And it's not through evolving yet. A state-of-the-art audi-torium has been finished, several new businesses have opened, someof them large, such as Rite Aid and Auto Zone. From the single ele-mentary school has grown numerous primary schools, two publicintermediate schools, three private religious schools and ParadiseHigh School.

Paradise is the perfect place for people who want to raise familiesor just live at a pace that will enable them to enjoy life’s benefitsmore!

WHAT DO YOU CALL a group of people who want some-thing for decades, and don’t stop until they get it?

The Paradise Performing Arts Center Committee.Long time board member Mary Ryan remembers,“When we moved

to Paradise in 1972, people were talking about needing an auditori-um.” In 1978, the real work began, an ad-hoc committee wasformed,” she said. Then, the practical matter of raising funds began.“We had a hundred dollar a plate dinner, we had rummage sales, thetypical things you do to raise money. In 1979 we formed a non-prof-it corporation.”Very slowly, the efforts began to pay off. Though, Ryan admits, it was

taking so long that it was difficult not to become a little discouragedoccasionally. Ryan said, “I knew it was going to happen when westarted, or I wouldn’t have stuck with it over the years,”

Community support continued to build, and much of the $2.4 mil-lion total that was eventually raised by 1999, was helping the projectbuild up steam. There was one large $250,000 anonymous gift,

$50,000 from Paradise resident, LoisKroh, and $25,000 from Long’s Drugs,and numerous other business and pri-vate supporters. By 1985, the actualstructure was finally started.

“The part that was visibly the mostexciting, for me anyway,” Ryan said,“waswhen they put up the framework withthose big cranes and huge pieces ofmetal. That to me was really exciting.”Between the scores of dedicated people

who helped year after year, to the individ-uals and businesses that donated funds, the Paradise PerformingArts Center was completed, and opened to wide-eyed and impressedreviews in January 1999. The evening was a huge success, withalmost 800 people in attendance.

The Paradise PerformingArts Center is a tremen-dous asset to the Ridge, itwas designed for everyone’suse. Today people from allover the Valley can enjoythe wonderful acousticsand theatrical technologyof this world class perform-ing arts center. A concert, achoir, a play will be greatly enhanced by the state-of-the-art comput-erized digital sound system, it offers the latest technology available

in the world of sound today.The auditorium seats 769 inplush, comfortable theaterseats. Many bear the nameof the person who donatedthe seat, or the name of aloved one, in whose memo-ry it was donated.

It may have been years inthe building but it was wellworth the wait. The audito-rium has been coined the

“Jewel of the Foothills” by one of the consultants working throughthe architect.

Ryan feels It’s a very fitting name.32 Paradise Visitor Guide

The trail is .4 miles, one way. Sectionsof the trail to the canyon overlook are unimproved. Be safe, use caution.

Paradise Memorial Trail WayThis trail is an old railroad right of way which goes the length ofParadise. It is approximately 5 miles, one way. Starting at Skyway andNeal Road, it takes an easy uphill climb to Skyway and Clark Road. Thesection between Fir Street and the end of the trail north is paved, about4 miles. Bicycles are allowed, and there is cross traffic at various loca-tions where the trail crosses major streets.

Hiking Trails cont.

Upper Ridge Nature Preserve TrailsThe Upper Ridge Nature Preserve has two major trails and several con-necting trails or scenic loops. Stop by the Paradise Pines PropertyOwners Association recreation village at 14211 Wycliff Way for up-to-date map and trail access information. Take Creston Road off Skyway toWycliff Way, about 1/2 mile.

Lower TrailThe south end of the Lower Trail starts where the gravel section ofPonderosa Way crosses the bridge over Middle Butte Creek at an eleva-tion of just over 1900 feet. From this point the trail follows as close toMiddle Butte Creek as the terrain will permit to about 1/4 mile north of“Lil Falls” where it climbs up through a lava bed and intersects with theupper trail.

The Upper TrailStarts just north of 14452 Colter Way at the south end and runs general-ly north to Colter and Masterson Ways. The elevation at the southentrance is about 2500 feet and drops rapidly through several switch-backs to about 2300 feet. From this point the trail climbs very graduallyto about 2450 feet where it exits on Colter Way.

The Flume TrailStarts at the lower end of Hupp’s Ditch, an abandoned flume, and followsthis ditch to a point about 1/4 mile north of Lil Falls where it joins theUpper Trail. Access to the lower end of the flume trail can be reachedfrom the Lane Court entrance or from the new trail which cuts off of theold Carnegie Trail and follows close the seasonal creek. This new trailprovides a very gradual descent to the lower end of Hupp’s Ditch and isthe more scenic of the two connecting trails. Entrance to the CarnegieTrail is located across from 14464 Carnegie Way. At about the mid-pointof all trails you will find the “Lil Falls” interchange where all of the maintrails join together. The elevation at Lil Falls is about 2100 feet and is oneof the most beautiful spots in the Greenbelt. Plant identification signshave been placed on or near the best specimens of various plants foundalong the trails.

PG&E Flume PathwaysThe PG&E flumes that zig-zag along the Ridge provide pathways along-side. There are three major flumes in use. These are the HendricksCanal, from the Feather River’s West Branch near Stirling City to the DeSabla powerhouse; the Miocene Canal, from the Feather River’s WestBranch near Coutolenc Road to the Lime Saddle powerhouse where thewater is discharged into the Lower Miocene Canal along Highway 70 tothe Coal Canyon powerhouse; and one from Butte Creek below ButteMeadows which goes along the upper Butte Canyon to the De Sabla pow-erhouse. The paths are not policed, and can be dangerous. PG&E ownsthe right-of-way of these flumes and paths but much of them are on pri-vate property. Next to being fun places to hike, the flumes are rich in his-tory. The Miocene Canal pathway is the most popular.Access via the trailbehind the Feather River Hospital, which runs into the path where you’llbe able to stroll over 18-inch wide catwalks. These catwalks run direct-ly over troughs of flowing water where there is no ground for a foot path,use caution. The trail is a healthy 7-mile hike.

Admission is free to the two-day event which is held the firstweekend in October at the Paradise Intermediate School onPearson Road at Recreation Drive.

Each year the fair features craft and food booths, and lots ofgreat entertainment and demonstrations. Local businesses set up“Get-to-know-us” booths and game booths for the children.

For those who like to get an early start on the celebration, theearly-bird pancake breakfast is put on by the sheriff ’s depart-ment. Pancakes, sausage, juice & coffee are served from 7-11 am.

We are a special district cemetery. A portion of the prop-erty taxes paid by theresidents of Paradise goto partially support us.Therefore, we can offervery low cost burials forthe people of Paradiseand their families.There is another specialdistrict cemetery for theresidents of the UpperRidge.

The care given to itscemetery is one of theportraits of a town.Here at ParadiseCemetery, the rever-ence for the heritage ofthose who have pro-ceeded us is evident inthe beauty of thecemetery. We havemajestic floweringJapanese CherryTrees, toweringPines, ornateCedars, and ele-gant Camellias.

The staff andtrustees take personal pride inthe appearance

of the cemetery,and especially the

services we providewith compassion anddignity.

We have niches, aswell as in ground burialplots. Our gazebo isnow available for ser-vices. It was built overthe creek in order toprovide a soothingatmosphere for ourfamilies. We also offermemorial plaques to be placed on the pillarsof the gazebo.

We hope the residents of Paradisewill share our prideand enthusiasm for the further beautificationof the cemetery.
