Forest Ranch, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forest Ranch is an unincorporated community in Butte County, California. It includes Forest Ranch Elementary School (K-6), its own post office, and a CDF fire station. The community's ZIP code is 95942, and is shared with the community of Butte Meadows.
The US Geological Survey reports the town's elevation as 2,357 feet above mean sea level. The eastern end of the community is about 3,500 feet: about 1,000 feet higher. This is high enough that residents occasionally get "snowed in." Residents east of the center of the community report the snowfall is heavy enough to prevent driving about one to three days each year. This is only true of homes not located along State Route 32. Some residents commute to work in Chico, about fifteen driving miles west on SR32.
