Yucaipa, CA

Yucaipa, in the San Bernadino Mts, has a population of 51K and an excellent regional park.  We stayed here 3 years ago and are delighted to be back.  The park has RV and tent camping, trails, water slide, frisbee golf, 3 small lakes stocked with large trout, game fields and more.  I rank it one of the top 4 parks we've visited in North America.  The other top-ranked parks are one each in MN, NB, OR.


Middle Lake, lots of fishing.  Saw a beautiful 8 pound trout caught by a teenage girl who was justifiably proud to show it off.


Upper Lake with woman, dog, rocks, fishermen.

Fantastic weather here, mid 70s for highs, sunny, 40ish for lows.

  1. This one looks a lot more appealing than the last place. However, I'd like to see the art that Patti acquired there.
    Happy New Year to you guys!

    Which is the park in OR you refer to?

  3. Yucaipa RP looks like a dandy. 8 lb trout, yowser! Niiiccceeee! Let me take a stab at the MN SP: Itasca near Gin's roots. Source of the Mississippi River. Fun place to visit, camp, and picnic. IA SP: Nine Eagles near IA-MO state line just off I-35. Never been there, but friends say it's nice. So, Mike, which are the parks in MN and IA?
