So Much To Do, So Much To See

The Foresthill Divide is an amazing place, full of recreation opportunities, historic sites, and places for both socialization and solitude. The two main recreation areas are the Sugar Pine/Big Reservoir area north and east of Foresthill and the French Meadows area east of Foresthill. We invite you to come explore the Foresthill Divide and see why we love it so much!
