Lake City Flouring Mill
Follow US 395 south of Willow Ranch along Goose Lake for about 10 miles to Davis Creek. After 3 additional miles on Us 395, angle left onto Cr 133a. Turn left onto Franklin Canyon Rd/Cr 52 after 1 mile. Go about 12-13 miles east, about half the distance traveling along upstream on Franklin Creek, crossing over into the Mill Creek drainage, the road becoming Mill Creek Rd or Mill St. as it travels downstream toward Lake City. The mill is along Mill St. on Mill Creek a short distance west of Lake City.

Early morning view of the mill. Vandals and the elements have taken their toll on this historic building. Lake City is on the SW edge of Upper Lake, a normally dry lake bed that stretches from Fort Bidwell on the north to Lake City on the south.

This picture was taken in about 1915 I believe by my great, great grandfather, Edward Allen Noyes on a family trip throughout Northern California and Southern Oregon in Search of the perfect ranch to settle on.
