Greenhorn Park — Attraction in Yreka

There's actually 2 parts of the park. There's the Lower Greenhorn accessible by Ranch Road and the Upper Greenhorn which is accessible from Greenhorn Road. The lower area has a playground and the upper area has 2 playgrounds. Upper and Lower Greenhorn Park are separated by an old time miner's pond, which is now a reservoir. There's modern restrooms on both sides. The pond is stocked with fish and many good fish have been caught. Easy access and handicap parking available. There's a nice, paved walk way path connecting the 2 sides with a few historic buildings, old mining equipment including an old stamp mill.

Very nice park. It has a nice lake to fish in. Don't forget, July 2nd is free fishing day mark your calendars. Nice restrooms, picnic tables, gazebo with picnic tables. Trails and paved paths to walk. There are many forms of wildlife; squirrels, birds, seagulls, Canadian geese and goslins, and I saw one deer. There is also slides and a climbing area for children. I saw one goose that looked like it had a broken wing or two. Always keep pets on a leash so they don't injure wildlife. I hope someone can help the poor goose. He can't fly or hardly walk. I think dogs should be banned...
