Connie thought this whole little town has burned down, from the Carr Fire (2018) but I am still think otherwise. Plan to visit soon and make my updates on this page. French Gulch California is a small, rural mountain community in Northern California. Located on Clear Creek, French Gulch is situated in between two major recreation lakes - Trinity Lake & Whiskeytown Reservoir.
