South Fork Reservoir
An interpretive kiosk stands at the north end of the east side parking lot at South Fork Reservoir. Some of the information describes local history post HCO; however, most of the display covers the infamous trail and its drawbacks. Heinrich Lienhard's description of South Fork Canyon, top right, includes the portion now under the water of the reservoir. He passed here about three weeks before the Donner-Reed Party. South view, right.
