Paradise was home to Yellowstone Kelly, a celebrated figure of the American west. Luther Sage “Yellowstone” Kelly was a soldier, hunter, trapper, scout, adventurer and confidante of President Theodore Roosevelt. After a life of adventure, he and his wife Alice May retired to Paradise to establish an orchard on Clark Road. After the abandonment of the Butte County Railroad in the early 1970s, the 4.3 mile Paradise Memorial Trail was established, and renamed the “Yellowstone Kelly Heritage Trail” in 2017.

The ruts of the Overland Stage route through Paradise were paved long ago, but visitors will continue to visit this unique locale, finding delight in its beauty and a warm welcome in its people. On November 8, 2018, Paradise, Magalia and neighbors were devastated by the most destructive wildfire in California history. As we evolve and rebuild, we invite you to explore our remarkable community of indomitable pioneers.

The “gold fever” that led to the settlement of the Paradise Ridge also gave rise to one of our most popular annual events, the “Gold Nugget Days” celebration. In 1859, a 54-pound gold nugget was brought to Dogtown from the Willard mine, and the discovery of the “Dogtown Nugget” was heralded near and far.

he Paradise Depot Museum was dedicated and opened to the public in July 2007, adding the crowning touch to the Paradise Community Park. The Train Depot showcases the shared history of the Ridge, with displays commemorating the logging, mining, and agricultural periods. From passengers to poultry, turpentine to matchsticks, the Depot Museum will share exhibits as time allows, and volunteers come forward.

The caboose, purchased by the Gold Nugget Museum, is adjacent to the Depot Museum. It is slated for restoration, and periodic fundraisers will be held to fund the project.

A Bit of Train Depot history

The Paradise Depot opened in March 1904, one of four depots of the Butte County Railroad, (BCRR) built to serve Diamond Match Company operations in Stirling City and Barber (Chico).

BCRR soon added passenger and cargo services and Paradise became the busiest depot on the route. At that time it formed the heart of a new “Paradise downtown” and was the engine of economic development for the town, particularly through the marketing of produce.

A famous wreck occurred in 1909, when a new engineer, coming down from Magalia, lost control of the train. The crash

occurred between Pearson and Neal Roads, killing two people.

Operated by Southern Pacific (SP), the last train passed through in 1974. Tracks were removed by SP and the roadbed now serves as the Yellowstone Kelly Heritage Trail (YKHT) for bikers and hikers. Discussions, with tentative plans, continue for the development of the YKHT to connect with the Upper Ridge and south Chico, thus extending the trail to more than 20 miles for recreational use.

In January of 2022, the Gold Nugget Museum obtained material from the Butte County District Attorney, Michael Ramsey, which is of profound historical significance to the Ridge. Originally collected from PG&E during the Camp Fire investigation, this material includes the C-hook that, when it failed, sparked the fire.

Pre Camp Fire, we sponsored a number of annual events, such as the Days of Living History, in which the entire family could participate, and enriched Northern California schools with two unique programs that were part of the required curriculum for California history: children spent an entire day on the Museum grounds living as if in the 1850s in the Pioneer School Program or learning about the Native Maidu traditions in the Maidu School Program, becoming part of the history they studied in

tirling City, nestled in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada on Paradise Ridge, is a quaint community established in 1903 by the Diamond Match Company to accommodate mill workers and loggers. Despite the devastation of the 1931 “Camp Fire,” many of its original buildings endure, showcasing its rich history.

Accessible via the scenic Skyway, just 16 miles above Paradise, Stirling City offers a glimpse into its past and present charm.

Stirling City Museum and Community Hall

Merlo Park is Stirling City’s crown jewel.

Stirling City Cemetery At the west end of Mica Street is the beautiful Cemetery. Over one hundred years of Stirling residents rest here, including many “Unknowns.”

Clotilde Merlo Park

A must see is Stirling’s crown jewel, Merlo Park. Take a relaxing stroll around the ponds and through the trees and statuary. Located on Retson Road at the south end of town, the Park opens Mothers’ Day. Call to confirm opening times.

Stirling City’s local landmarks are depicted on this map.

Stop by the Stirling City Museum, managed by the Stirling City Historical Society, for a comprehensive look at the town’s history. Allow about an hour for your visit, as there’s plenty to explore. Schedule a tour by calling ahead at (530) 873-2143 or (530) 873-0583.

Just up the Skyway from the Museum stands the Community Hall, originally built in 1906 as a cinema. Now, it serves as a venue for town gatherings, wedding receptions, and the Stirling Quilters Club, known for crafting “Flag Quilts” for local veterans. Since 2013, they have made over 100 quilts for our veterans.

Volunteer Fire Station

Continuing up Skyway, another block or so, is the Stirling City Volunteer Fire Station. On Thanksgiving weekend, they host their annual Christmas Tree Fundraiser with a bake sale and unique museum gift items. The firefighters cut the trees in the high country and they are sold fresh to support the Volunteer Fire Station.

Scenic drive to Butte Meadows

After your Stirling City visit, continue north out of town on Skyway for a beautiful drive over the top of the mountain to Butte Meadows, only another 16 miles. (This route is not recommended in winter due to snow.)

Looking for snow?

If you like to play in the snow, each winter Stirling gets its share, measured in feet, not inches! Call for conditions, (530) 873-2143 or (530) 873-0583.

Stirling is now a Fire Wise Community, actively collaborating with the Fire Safe Council and the Stirling City Volunteer Fire Dept. Auxiliary to enhance fire preparedness. As fire season approaches, residents are engaged in brush clearing efforts and participating in “Green Waste” days.

able Mountain Masonic Lodge # 124 was born in the days of the gold rush. In 1850, the Masons met along the Feather River at mining camps and formed the lodge in 1857 in Oroville. As the gold production there decreased, Table Mountain Masonic Lodge moved to Cherokee, and eventually into the bigger community of Paradise in 1936 where they built their impressive stone building. Membership growth required a large building expansion in 1957. Thanks to Providence, the building survived the 2018 Camp Fire intact.

The restoration of the standing stone building is completed and will be the sales area until other structures are built. It is remarkable to have this iconic building survive, representing over 103 years of Noble Orchards history and providing a window into the once vibrant apple industry that thrived on the Paradise Ridge.

See you at the Farm!

The orchards continue to thrive. Agricultural fields are pruned, mowed, and irrigated. And Grandpa Perry Noble’s Stone Building still stands. Look for the upcoming U Pick fundraisers, tours, available products, and hours of operation on NobleOrchards’ Facebook.

The Nobles have faced unique farming challenges, including apple-loving deer and bears, but none the magnitude of the devastating 2018 Camp Fire. The original stone building at Noble Orchards was constructed by Grandpa Perry after World War II. The building’s granite fieldstone walls (gathered from the orchards) remained standing following the fire and was meticulously restored in 2023. Today it is used as the sales area until the new sales shed can be rebuilt.

history

t’s been 103 years since Grandpa Perry Noble, wife Ethel and young son Vincent moved to Paradise in 1921 and planted their apple orchard. One of the reasons they chose Paradise was the promise of a steady supply of water for agriculture afforded by the Paradise Irrigation District, established in 1916. Noble Orchards remains a family owned and operated business, with grandson, Jim Noble and his wife Laurie preserving the family legacy.

oy Lyn’s Candies, a beloved fixture in Paradise for 54 years, was founded in 1969 by Don and Joan Memmer. Originally a home-based operation on Bille Road, the business, named after their daughters, quickly gained popularity. In 2000, Pam and Bill Hartley took over, ushering in new products like artisanal truffles and caramel apples.

The Hartleys, members of Retail Confectioners International (RCI), expanded their expertise through travels and learning from industry peers. By 2005, the tiny retail store became too small for their growing business and they expanded the shop and factory. They also initiated the Paradise Chocolate Fest in 2006, benefiting local youth organizations. Additionally, their partnership with Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. resulted in the award-winning Sierra Nevada Beer Brittle.

Crisp fresh apples dipped in creamy caramel and dipped in premium chocolate.

In 2018, Pam and Bill sold the business to their son, Glenn, just three weeks prior to the devastating Camp Fire that destroyed the iconic pink building, their homes and 90% of the Town of Paradise. The Hartleys, along with their son Glenn, rebuilt Joy Lyn’s Candies at 220 Pearson Road. Reopened in October 2020, the new location continues the tradition of quality and freshness, using natural ingredients and no preservatives.

Joy Lyn’s Candies takes pride in its reputation for quality and freshness using natural ingredients and no preservatives. In October of 2024, Joy Lyn’s will joyfully celebrate 55 years of making Heavenly Candies in Paradise. Watch for details to attend their celebration.

History and restoration of iconic Paradise welcome sign

history community

“No matter where we were coming from, when we passed the sign, we knew we were nearly home.”

– Bret Matteis The new sign features the original bandsaw halo, salvaged by local photographer Douglas Keister.

The loss of the iconic sign spurred a community effort to erect a new one, led by former resident Bret Matteis and Charles Brooks, founder of the Rebuild Paradise Foundation. Matteis, having moved to Oregon, felt compelled to help rebuild the sign after seeing its destruction. With broad community support, an adhoc committee managed the design, funding, and construction processes. On April 21, 2022, the Paradise community attended the dedication of the new Welcome Sign, celebrating the hope, strength and perseverance of the people of the Paradise Ridge.

The Paradise Rotary Club and the Paradise Recreation and Park District took on the sign’s ownership and maintenance, ensuring that it continues to welcome residents and visitors alike, symbolizing home and hope.

In 1969, local contractor Charles M. Todd proposed a more significant welcome sign, using materials from a 1914 train trestle and a bandsaw halo for its construction, funded by community groups. This iconic sign, greeting visitors with the promise of Paradise, stood until it was destroyed in the Camp Fire on November 8, 2018.

ver the decades, the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce sponsored a variety of signs welcoming visitors to Paradise. Before the Skyway was built following years of lobbying for a quicker route, these signs stood farther from the Ridge. The Skyway, opening for traffic on July 30, 1950, changed that.

A

s a member of the Paradise Town Council and Mayor of Paradise, I want to pass on our thanks to our wonderful partners at the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce.

These business professionals have worked tirelessly to keep our local businesses informed Ron Lassonde of the initiatives shaping our commercial landscape. Paradise has been recognized as the fastest growing town two years in a row.

Due, in no small part, to the ceaseless efforts of our Chamber. Their efforts to attract visitors, new residents, and new businesses have been instrumental in the fact we are approaching a population of 10,000 residents with business ribbon cuttings happening on a regular basis.

In a little more than five years since the Camp Fire, we have had 3,111 applications to rebuild single family homes. At the same time, we have had 808 applications to build multi-family units. At any given time, we have about 500 homes under construction. Currently, over 350 businesses are operational in our town, and several others are

either in the early planning stages or nearing the submission of their plans. These businesses are eager to contribute to the ongoing growth and prosperity of our wonderful community.

Our Town staff is fully committed to delivering on our Long-Term Recovery Plan. To date, $500 million in funding has been secured to implement recovery efforts. Of the original 39 recovery projects, eight have been completed and 25 are currently in progress. Five were deemed no longer a priority and retired and 13 new projects were added.

We are fully funded to repave all public roads in Paradise by 2026.

30 miles are scheduled to be paved this year. The paving effort is coordinated to follow the undergrounding efforts by PG&E, AT&T and Comcast, as well as the replacement of service laterals by Paradise Irrigation District to all lots in Paradise. Our Sewer Project includes a community sewer system for primarily commercial areas in Town (Skyway, Pearson, Clark). A Town owned pipe will connect directly to the City of Chico Water Quality Control Plant. The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been completed and certified. An agreement with the City of Chico has been signed. The fully funded design phase is underway. Additionally, approval has been granted for a contract with the Progressive Design Build contractor, marking an important step forward in the project.

This is a very exciting time for all of us to be involved in the recovery efforts for our Town. The future of Paradise is extremely bright.

6 years after Camp Fire, Town’s recovery moves to construction phase

Recovery and Economic Development Director Town of Paradise

Currently, the project is in the Design and Right of Way Phase.

This means the Town is working to design the details of the system and working with property owners for any access needed.

Most of the pipeline will be on public property; however, the Town is currently working with a few private property owners.

• Currently construction is planned to start in late 2025 or early 2026.

• If all goes according to plan, the sewer could be completed at the end of 2028.

• For more information, visit paradisesewer.com for FAQs and how to get involved.

Town-wide Repaving program update, year 3

Starting in 2022, the Town embarked on a 5-year effort to repave all public roads in the Town of Paradise. Funded through a grant from FEMA and the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA), all public roads will be paved by 2026.

You can find a map of the planned paving work, as well as an alphabetical list of roads and the year in which they are scheduled for paving on the Town’s website.

Plans and funding for future evacuation routes and road improvements

The Town completed our Transportation Master plan, a holistic analysis of the Paradise transportation network. This plan outlines critical gaps in infrastructure, conflicts, pinch points and other barriers to potential future evacuation events. Get more information and read the plan at townofparadise.com/ pwe/page/transportation-recovery-efforts.

Using this information, the Town was able to apply for funding through the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery program and received nearly $200 million to construct evacuation route improvements in Paradise.

Early Warning Sirens: Safety for our residents in an emergency

arts

Plans for a public sewer system in Paradise have been in the works since 1979, and for the last ten years, the service area has been designated as an 18 square mile “triangle” including Skyway, Clark, and Pearson Roads.

The proposed region would create an estimated ½ million gallons of wastewater per day, using gravity to flow 18 miles to the existing Wastewater and Pollution Control Plant off Chico River Road, operated by the City of Chico.

21 Early Warning Sirens are now in operation, and beautifully concealed in pine trees.

Where would it start and where would it end?

community

The Paradise sewer project stands as a cornerstone of the town’s reconstruction efforts. Its implementation promises a twofold enhancement to economic development: Affordable housing: Lack of a sewer system’s dispersal of highvolume wastewater impedes the construction of affordable apartments and condos. By extending the sewer network along primary thoroughfares in Paradise, affordable housing units would be strategically positioned near evacuation routes, facilitating faster departures during emergencies.

Commercial business: The introduction of a sewer system would support the expansion of commercial enterprises in the downtown area. Unlike septic systems, which have capacity limitations, a sewer network would accommodate a wider range of businesses, including restaurants, hair salons, and other establishments generating substantial wastewater volumes, thus broadening the scope of services available to residents and visitors.

hat’s what Paradise Irrigation District proudly shares on its logo—and there’s a definite reason for every word in that slogan.

Without water, our community wouldn’t have what it needs—water for all of the new construction, for Paradise residents (both “new” and “old”), water for businesses and water for our future.

Numbers are up all over Paradise—and that includes water storage numbers and more pipeline to get that water to PID customers.

With recent construction, PID now has two above-ground water tank reservoirs, each with 1.5 million gallons of capacity. This project increases water storage for fire emergencies and improves water distribution for PID customers.

Additionally, an extra 6,000 feet of pipeline is now complete in the upper portion of PID’s service area. The 16-inch pipeline in Zone A provides a redundant water supply to ensure water can still be supplied if anything happens to the current transmission line.

A visit to the PID Demonstration Garden is a must

GARDEN IDEAS: Paradise residents Ward and Cheryl Habriel explore possibilities for their landscaping at PID’s Demonstration Garden. The garden is open every day during daylight hours and provides information about planting, irrigating and hardscape ideas for Ridge landscapes.

Visitors will discover landscaping featuring droughttolerant plants that attract hummingbirds and butterflies, along with a diverse selection of native flora. Additionally, there are several suggested surface options for walkways throughout the garden.

The PID Demonstration Garden is open from dawn until dusk every day.

FRHF’s Community Healing Garden planning moves forward

Adventist Health Feather River Health Foundation is moving forward with its initiative to establish a Community Healing Garden, which will serve as a peaceful and healing sanctuary designed to promote well-being. The garden will feature tranquil spaces, sweet-smelling plants, and educational opportunities for families.

Residents provided valuable input for the Community Healing Garden project, contributing to the development of its vision.

This includes plans to offer classes on produce, as well as hosting events featuring farm-to-fork meals and various garden-based activities.

Déjà vu Gardens Galore Nursery of Paradise, Paradise Community Garden planning team and Love Paradise - Make a Difference Day volunteers, to start site cleanup for the future garden.

FRHF commits to supporting new initiatives in 2024 Following its efforts in 2023, Feather River Health Foundation has continued its efforts by pledging nearly $50,000 of support in the community to begin 2024.

This support will benefit the Butte County Local Food Network, Boys and Girls Club of the North Valley, Paradise Arts, Theater and Cultural Hub among other local organizations. Part of the foundation’s efforts will also help the Feather River Health Center purchase a specialized car seat to allow end-of-life patients to recline during transport.

With no urban sprawl, the community maintains small-town charm and character, while still offering many of the amenities of a larger city.

Recreation opportunities abound on the Ridge, with easy access to hiking, fishing, boating, an equestrian center, and other outdoor activities. The community also has an active arts scene, with local artists, live performances at the Paradise Performing Arts Center, Theatre on the Ridge and local taverns. Service clubs and local organizations stage a range of festivals and events each year. Our signature events include the summer Party in the Park series with live bands, food and vendors, Paradise Chocolate Fest, Johnny Appleseed Days, and a four-day Gold Nugget Days celebration, highlighting the area’s history and culture.

One of the most attractive features of living on the Ridge is the strong community spirit, where newcomers are welcomed.

Despite the challenges the community has faced post Camp Fire, residents have come together to support one another and rebuild diverse, welcoming, and well-planned little city. This sense of community is what makes the Ridge such a uniquely

When purchasing a home in Paradise, or Magalia, there are some things you should be aware of to make an informed decision. One of the first things to consider are private roads.

Many homes in Paradise are located on publicly owned and maintained roads; however, there are also many private roads, which means that the responsibility for maintaining and repairing the road falls on the homeowners. This can be an additional expense that buyers should factor in when considering a property.

Another important consideration are the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for any given neighborhood. CC&Rs are a homeowner benefit, and a means of preserving property value and protecting private property rights. These legal/governing documents stipulate rules and guidelines for a neighborhood. Examples of CC&R governance include property use, types of structures allowed, paint color of homes, etc. Buyers should ascertain whether their prospective property is situated in a neighborhood governed

by CC&Rs and thoroughly review these documents alongside closing paperwork to ensure compliance with the established restrictions.

Town of Paradise offers housing finance programs with AMAZING terms!

Many affordable homes for sale on the Ridge.

By Nadia Alekseev

Town of Paradise Housing Program Technician

T

he Town of Paradise offers financing options for home rebuilding or purchasing in Paradise, whether you’re a previous homeowner, renter, or new resident. Act now as the deadline to access these funds is approaching!”

Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Program:

This program offers financing for modest home rebuilding for households who owned a home that was destroyed in the Camp Fire. Whether you need full assistance or partial support, Housing Technicians are available to assist. Loans range from $2,000 to $450,000 and are paid directly to the contractor for work performed. Loans are deferred, with no payments required for 30 years. Interest accrues at 3% simple interest for the first 10 years, with forgiveness on the 20th anniversary, though only on the interest portion. More than 60 households have been assisted since the Camp Fire, reflecting the strong ties residents have to Paradise.

Loans are deferred, which means there are no payments required for 30 years. Loans can be between $2,000 and $450,000 and are paid directly to the contractor for work performed.

One resident described her experience as follows: “After the Camp Fire I believed that I would never be able to move back to Paradise. I heard that the Town of Paradise was offering opportunities to homeowners wanting to rebuild. Through their insight and advice, I was able to find the right opportunity to begin my dream of moving back to Paradise. I am now in my new home in Paradise and loving life again.” – Joanne Thomson

The Town’s First-Time Homebuyer program is available to those who haven’t owned a home in the past three years and meet certain income requirements. This includes individuals owning vacant lots without habitable dwellings. Eligible applicants, including Camp Fire survivors, may receive up to $100,000 in down-payment assistance, with deferred loans and a low 1% interest rate for the first 10 years. Since the Camp Fire, the program has helped more thn 30 households become homeowners, including renters and newcomers to the community, reflecting the Town’s commitment to expanding homeownership opportunities. These funds are traditionally combined with a first mortgage to make homeownership more affordable; with survivors receiving PG&E settlements, these funds can be combined with FVT funds offering no monthly payments for lower-income households.

First-Time homebuyer Devin Tickle shares his experience: “The Town of Paradise made owning a home a reality for my family. We dreamed of buying a home, but the market made us feel defeated and discouraged. We learned that there was a perfect opportunity for us and we qualified for almost $100,000 that made it possible to own a home. We are grateful to the Town for walking us through our journey and helping us find the perfect home to start our family. Thank you Paradise!”

The Town of Paradise offers Homebuyer Workshops providing a detailed overview of the eligibility criteria of the Town’s program, as well as expertise from local real estate, lending and insurance professionals.

After the Camp Fire of 2018, this treasured tradition has been carried on through the generosity of organizations and individuals that donated replacement flags. The Daughters of the American Revolution lead the charge, and flags were also donated by members of E.Clampus Vitus and Paradise Rotary.

On Memorial Day, Independence Day and Veterans Day, teams of volunteers plant hundreds of American flags along the Skyway in Paradise and Magalia in honor of veterans.

community

In advance of the first parade, Ray Dalton and veteran volunteers used a compressor borrowed from Paradise Irrigation District to drill hundreds of holes along the Skyway. The necessary funds were raised through a “sponsor a flag” program. Soon, the program welcomed the donation of commemorative flags.

Flags from funerals, flags that flew over the capital, and others were presented.

This year, we’re restoring flag route holes in disrepair from the sidewalk project and planning a flag container maintenance day at the Elks Lodge to clean and organize. We’ll assess the flag inventory, launder as necessary, retire worn flags, and determine additional flags needed to fill all holes.

Paradise Veterans Hall serving the Ridge since 1927 American Legion, Post 259

Welcome Home Veterans!

The Paradise Veterans Memorial Hall, located at the corner of Skyway and Elliott Road welcomes all prior service members and their families. The Veterans Hall is centrally located and has served Veterans and the Ridge community since 1927. Call any Hall Commander to join one or all the organizations we offer.

Visit the outdoor Military Museum

A 105MM Howitzer joins the inspiring metal sculpture depicting the 1945 flag raising at Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima, Japan, and a donated Korean War era jeep. The “Salute to Ridge Veterans,” a 3,489-pound granite memorial was dedicated on November 11, 2021. The outdoor exhibit area is surrounded by an inspirational display of seven service flags, each representing a branch of the military service including the new Space Force flag. This openair memorial is a fitting tribute to our brave Ridge veterans.

Veterans host special and scheduled community events

The Veterans Hall is an affordable venue for special events, offering a large hall, two meeting rooms, dining room and a commercial kitchen. We host a wide variety of community and private events for the Ridge both large and small and provide basic equipment.

Excitement is brewing in Paradise as plans for a new restaurant, Bucatini Trattoria Italian Kitchen, are underway.

Bucatini Trattoria will be located at 460 Pearson Road, next to Hudson’s Appliance Center. The new owners Christie and John Beeman report that they are in the preliminary stages of planning and hope to open late fall/winter of 2024.

With a focus on fresh-made pasta, Neapolitan brick oven pizza, garden-fresh salads, desserts, and a selection wines and beers, Bucatini will invite residents and visitors alike to savor the flavors of Italy in the heart of Paradise.

Drawing inspiration from cherished memories of times spent in Paradise with family, the team aims to recreate the warmth and camaraderie of those gatherings.

“We can’t wait to share our family recipes with you and your loved ones,” says Christy Beeman. “Bon appétito!”

­ NEW RIDGE BUSINESSES IN OUR FUTURE — Bucatini Trattoria: new Italian eatery coming to Paradise

—

The Paradise Moose Family Center at Skyway and Neal is taking shape, the new 9,500 sq.ft. building is scheduled to be open August 2, 2024.

Paradise Moose Family Center set to open in late summer 2024

The Paradise Moose Family Center is undergoing a resurgence following the 2018 Camp Fire. Progress is visible as you traverse Skyway, with their new lodge home taking shape just above Neal Road. The construction of the new 9,500 square foot Family Center is well underway.

Upon completion, the Family Center will boast a spacious dining area accommodating 265 guests, a Social Quarters Bar seating 110, and an outdoor seating area offering picturesque views for 50 guests.

Central to the Moose’s mission is providing a welcoming environment for families to come together and enjoy quality meals at affordable prices. They will serve meals five days a week, with the Social Quarters Bar open seven days a week.

A rendering of the anticipated Paradise Community Center. Visit www. paradiseprpd.com/paradise-community-center for more rebuilding plans.

There is a tentative completion date of August 2, 2024 with a soft grand opening. Cy Morris, Administrator of the Center, expresses excitement, stating, “I regularly post construction updates on our Facebook page, so stay tuned for opening dates.

The public will be warmly welcomed!”

Community Rebirth: Paradise Senior Center rebuilds as Paradise Community Center”

Pre-fire Paradisians cherished the Senior Center for its central location and welcoming atmosphere. Though lost in the Camp Fire, the spirit of the center lives on. Public input highlighted the community’s desire to rebuild.

In February the Paradise Recreation and Park District (PRPD) board, with the Paradise Community Center (PCC) board, unveiled plans including conceptual drawings and building layouts to transform the Senior Center into a Paradise Community Center. Recognizing the need for a more inclusive space, the PCC board officially changed its name to reflect this vision in October 2019. It will be located at the original Senior Center site at 877 Nunneley Road in Paradise. The anticipated completion date is 2025.

A look at the 38,000 sq. ft. sanctuary as it is under construction, it is scheduled to be completed in late 2024.

Immediately following the 2018 Camp Fire that burned the church facility, church leaders focused on rebuilding their schools and helping their neighbors find hope. The school campus in Paradise hosts a K-8 elementary school and a 9-12 high school, with an enrollment of about 110 students.

The church’s Love Gives program helped Ridge residents after the Camp Fire find support and encouragement as they rebuild their lives. Love Gives distributes household goods and furniture that come from a partnership of Adventist Health and World Vision. Since its beginning, Love Gives has shared more than $3.7 million in goods to more than 5,900 adults and 2,500 children.

Using the trails identified in the book The Flumes and Trails of Paradise by Roger and Helen Ekins as a guide, here are a few trails that continue to provide a great outdoor experience on the Ridge.

recreation

Butte Creek Trail West

(up to 9.5 miles, out and back) While pets and swimming are prohibited (Paradise Lake serves as the Town’s drinking water), it remains one of the most scenic destinations for hiking or mountain biking. Access to parking areas, located off Coutolenc Rd. from either Lucretia or Northlake Rd., requires a fee. If you plan to visit regularly, consider purchasing an annual pass from the PRPD to enjoy cost-effective access to the area.

Yellowstone Kelly Heritage Trailway

(up to 11 miles, round trip) Named in honor of past resident, Yellowstone Kelly, a famed Western figure, this old railroad bed, which runs through the middle of town, is paved and ideal for all kinds of bicycles, tricycles and the like. In fact, locals usually call it “the bike path.” It can be accessed at any one of several cross-streets, but the best place to park is at Paradise Community Park on Black Olive near Pearson Road.

Ridge Rising Resource Guide 2024/25......................................................................................................................................................... 65

chamber

(3 miles, round trip) The De Sabla Reservoir trailhead is located off Skyway, facing the lake, approximately 8.2 miles north of Wagstaff Road.

Initially, the trail follows along the left side of the lake atop a wide gravel and dirt dam, away from the road. Upon reaching the lake’s far edge, the trail veers left and gradually ascends through the woods on a well-defined path above the spillway.

Keep an eye out for a path on the right of the spillway, leading up a short hill. Follow the clear path, which eventually loops back to the right, crossing over a small bridge. From there, turn right and follow the flumes back to your starting point.

Paradise Lake

events

DeSabla Reservoir Loop

arts

(up to 5 or 6 miles round trip) For dramatic vistas of Butte Creek (and the chance to try some legal gold panning if you are feeling lucky) drive up the Skyway some 9 miles from Wagstaff, then turn left on Powellton Road and continue on the middle road, which is now Doe Mill. At the bottom, cross over the bridge, begin heading up the other side and look for the white trail marker on your left, parking anywhere you have room. Then follow the trail downstream for as far as you feel like going. This is especially lovely in the spring.

community

(.5 mile, round trip) Located on Bille Road, one mile west of Skyway, but best accessed via the West Wagstaff entrance, Bille Park is one of the jewels of Paradise. The main hiking trail is west of the gazebo, on the north end of the park--just look for the sign for Indian Rock (613’), the Grotto (1,231’) and Lookout Point (1,463’) which ends at a cement bench–a perfect viewing spot for glorious sunsets.

Located near the intersection of Skyway and Coutolenc Road, this hike offers a great opportunity to view responds after nature’s recovery process after a wildfire. Known for the McNab Cypress, this area was severely burned but many plants are returning. The hike down the road to the Miocene Head Dam is one mile with an elevation difference of nearly 1000’ so be prepared for a strenuous hike. Bring plenty of water in warm weather.

outh Pines Disc Golf is a project of Magalia Community Park, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization on the 40-acre property formerly known as the Paradise Pines Golf Course. It is part of a Camp Fire recovery project in lower Magalia to preserve the land for recreational use and bringing the community together. Magalia Community Center is at the heart of this project and is located near the 18th hole.

The sport of Disc Golf was formalized in the 1970s, and like golf, the object is to complete each hole in the fewest strokes (or, in the case of disc golf, fewest throws). Players use a flying disc like a Frisbee®, and the game is played on a fun and challenging par 54 course with 70 basket positions (changing frequently). The course and the pedestrian trail, (a 1.8-mile paved walking/hiking/biking trail) are open daily dawn to A golfer stops for refreshment at Izzy’s, dusk.

A love letter to Paradise graces Skyway Antique Mall

At 6118 Skyway, the “To Paradise, with Love” mural, located on the south side of Skyway Antique Mall, stands as a tribute to the community. A project of the Paradise Arts Alliance and Paradise Recreation and Park District, directed by Jess Mercer, and with contributions from illustrator Steve Ferchaud and local artists, it portrays Paradise’s history and present. Notable figures like Yellowstone Kelly and Frances Breese are depicted, alongside Bille Estrada, owner of the mall. The mural’s centerpiece is a clock set to 11:08, representing

the day of the Camp Fire: November 8, 2018. Phoenix wings offer a poignant selfie backdrop, while 85 daffodils honor those lost in the Camp Fire.

“Here we grow” with the Boys and Girls Club

Created by muralist Jedrek Speer, Boys and Girls Club of the North Valley members selected the inspiring “Here We Grow” motto for their building. Those familiar with regional public art will recognize Speer’s bold, vibrant style, as depicted on the “LOVE” mural on Park Avenue in Chico.

Sponsored by California Health and Wellness, the “Here We Grow” mural offers beauty, inspiration and hometown pride to all who pass the location at 6241 Skyway in Paradise.

Vets’ Hall mural celebrates resilience

A project of the Paradise Veterans Group, the mural depicts the valiant defense of Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore in 1814. The resistance inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem that later became “The Star Spangled-Banner.” The concept was inspired by local veterans who first returned to Paradise after the Camp Fire to see the Vets Hall still standing amidst the destruction.

Community artist Jess Mercer managed the project, which was sketched and painted by Steve Ferchaud, a celebrated local artist who continues to provide the community with legacy art pieces for all to enjoy.

Wildfire Ready Raccoon® & Friends

Local artist Jess Mercer painted a mural next to the Town of Paradise Building Resilience Center, featuring mascot Wildfire Ready Raccoon® and friends. Sponsored by the Butte County Fire Safe Council, the mural promotes wildfire preparedness for all ages and backgrounds. Funding was provided by the Butte County Air Quality Management District’s Community Air Protection Program.
