Yosemite Sierra Visitors Guide 2008 - (Page 22) North Fork North Fork is located just miles from Bass lake. It is the home of the Sierra Mono Indian Museum. The breathtaking 100-mile Sierra vista Scenic Byway starts here and is the gateway to Mammoth Pool, a popular fishing destination. During the Christmas season, downtown North Fork features a children’s parade and a festive bazaar reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell painting. North Fork was a logging community for more than 100 years. The North Fork Mill was relocated here from Oregon in 1942. On April 1, 1943, the first log was sawed into lumber. In the 1990s, the cost and restrictions on local logging made lumber production unprofitable. The mill was shut down and sawed its last log on Feb. 25, 1994. 22 YosemitesierraVisitorsBureau-(559)83-43 http://www.northforkrancheria.com http://www.northforkartscouncil.org http://www.north-fork-chamber.com
