The Indian Valley area, which includes the communities of Greenville, Taylorsville, Crescent Mills, Indian Falls and Genesee, is rich in beauty and history. It serves as a premiere gateway to Lake Almanor and Lassen Volcanic National Park. Surrounded by a stunning mountain backdrop, the valley is dotted with ranches, old barns and grazing cattle. The most alluring aspect of this verdant meadow is its serenity. Quiet roadways and beautiful vistas make Indian Valley one of the best spots in the county to take a scenic drive, especially during the spring and fall. The valley also is popular with hang gliders, runners and bicyclists, and is the setting for a number of yearly bike rides and races. An active Barn Quilt Tour showcases painted barn quilts up to 8 feet square. The Mountain Maidu Indians were the valley’s original inhabitants, and their influence on the region has provided a unique cultural background. Greenville, the largest community, offers a full range of business and service establishments. It also hosts the Gold Digger Days celebration held each July to commemorate the area’s vivid gold mining past. Visitors can take a self-guided walking tour of Greenville’s historic Main Street to learn more about the town’s origins. Pick up a tour brochure at the Greenville Cy Hall Memorial Museum. Round Valley Reservoir, located three miles above Greenville, is a warm-water fishery containing bass, channel cats and bluegill, and it is a popular place to bring children because they’re sure to make a catch.
