A Sierra foothills landmark
The country store that's been here since 1915
Chicago Park Store has anchored this stretch of Colfax Hwy for over a century — the friendly local stop with the things you remembered you needed halfway to the lake.
Step inside under the old Welcome to Chicago Park sign and you'll find vintage railroad photos on the walls, jars of local Chicago Park honey by the register, fresh produce and eggs, and shelves that run from everyday camp staples to a serious wall of fishing tackle. It's a real country store — not a chain stop.
It sits the same road as Happy Apple Kitchen and Greenhorn Campground, so it's a natural stop on the way in. Grab your bait, a cold six-pack and a propane fill, then point the truck toward the water. Tell 'em the campground sent you.
